Compared to previous elections most afghans are going into this ballot bowl with a sense of trepidation then Hope International forces have been reduced and the security situation has worsened. The front runner remains the incumbent president. But seems both of the 2 preelection t. V. Debates he failed to show up giving his main rival Abdullah Abdullah free rein to attack him. The current president has failed he should have made a consensus on the Peace Process with political allies and started negotiations with the taliban the taliban has repeated its threat to carry out attacks against polling stations in the cities theres a heavy security presence to prevent that but the taliban has made large gains in much of the role real afghanistan which could result in a low turnout that baena akbari works as a journalist in northern conducing province which is changed hands between government and taliban control several times and.

Pursuant to the new constitution there should be free and Fair Elections where all syrians should participate including their spur on the un supervision so this is my mandate ive already of course discussed this both with the government and with the opposition s. N. C.

We belong to a country that has given the world not war but buddhas message of peace and that is the reason why our voice against terrorism to alert the world about this evil brings was seriousness and outrage we believe that this is one of the Biggest Challenges not for any single country but for the entire world and humanity the lack of unanimity among us on the issue of terrorism dense those very principles that are the basis of the creation of the u.

Some were coerced. Others rallied to the cause. But were all complicit in creating a world of terror and oppression. Now living in fear and denial they reveal their motivations and the shocking truths from the inside. Witness the women of ice. On aljazeera. My it is our longlasting tradition and culture. Is our family centered lifestyle. My ethiopia is our earth and this is. We are definitely part of the reform process the reason im sitting right here is part of the reform process. The reason ive actually i mean. To really be gauged and be part of this conversation is part of the reform. You have always been known for the incidents of the past where we had an unfortunate time in. Where we lost millions and that has been stuck and people head and we have not done enough to change that these snares for presentations are our approach needed to change them brain now and this is the moment and right heart of the. Voting in that tourism that i like you tell you started your. Reaction im not going to open their minds. So i think to me or not so for a bit of truth then what do you know. Vision we are going to win and not need we dont want it. If we want to is a good to us to come and visit then we need to build our infrastructure and where are these infrastructures we need to build these conversation happening for real this time around within this period of time how do we need these sites accessible theyre not. So today we are Scavenger Hunting to look for sites. Not just as a tourist attraction but also coming to development and coming to the impeachment and learning about history and were also trying to see if that if we were going to do this and if people were going to come and find sites how would how easy would it. I think had just as huge potential in terms of his heritage to develop and to rebuild to revitalize the urban communities which is crucial because we are going through repetitions for mission and during this period were just about to lose our own identity because its our own tradition and i could take share there is a mirror in the reflection of ourselves in our past. I mean finding these buildings is a challenge so it turned out that the mistake they make about the heritage buildings here. G. P. S. Location doesnt really match with the with the engine so that should thats one reason we want to do the resource my thing then we wont have to do this you know you wont have to go out to a Scavenger Hunt to see how do you think were going to pay for that and i for one follow up and work and it doesnt measure. Getting up. And. Im going to check all cash. They could take a bigger place this and that the only. Safe orderly. Chipotle in the valley has out thats one of those. Standards you can buy. That even and i will not that you dont possess the. Kind of that said i dont have a horse and i look says thats going to lead we need to buy and theyre. Going to both of you will still be able jesus. To get a month or. 7 beautiful not because there was. You know what i dont know but still. A little. Oh thats just kind of a little. Mo. So the move was made out of libya. Such as he is a mage soon ive never thought only of. You think of it as your list. Of. Ok you. Did it with you in getting most of the old days. They. Should really diminish your money to me is it going to be National Just not is the domain decision was intended to make oh did the land now do just an ocean or she. Was happy that it didnt i guess. Theres so much history and so much culture that we hop that we have not preserved and we have not used. Were losing them were losing them in the process of modernization and the process of growth and thats it doesnt have to be that way we can always a grow that we can always go on along side of protecting our history and really really using it for something much more than what it was originally designed for. As was which which youre going the. Way but you know the rest of the double plymouth within which. Begins to muck up the. Music in the bush is you going to get a better name than now that were going to come in again and it would be just for the 3 major averages are the 2 region. Our stories have never been told by us dalton think you took an irishman has never been done completely by you to bents themselves it was always has been someone else telling our stories telling our cultures telling our history telling our lifestyle. For us is about to clearly taking on the space and scene that really need to tell our story and we need to make sure its still a threat because its ours. And. And. I grew up with 2 journalists in the house my parents so information was the news to me stuff like favorite body and they were talking about it so i grew up in a space where you know. You counts not but before. Because my mom was active and highlighting muslim moments rights that i was being taught and communicated while i was growing up by the time i was a teenager i really knew how to balance it out and know that when to call off something to be something to address this is really happening you know from a very gender perspective and i need to address it versus this is just that and out of authentic you know knowing enough understanding how. They dont engender dynamics works. My biggest challenge is the resistance to the transformation of we are agreed through a transformation and there is that painful year where the status quo the confort zone is going to go away so say that to you were not doing business as usual were going to change because were going to get better thats thats that why they need to have this conversation about the because. Productive to not. Going to get. The simple answer yes we would be happy if you could promote us. Coming to office the 1st space they tried to explore and would simply understand how things have worked before. And it was very. Quick for me to recognize that especially with the private sector how to talk and to recognize that a lot of was being done but nothing was coming out as fruitful and consult a move again to have to know. Which part of our foreign as a country is a truism is going to be an economy current and its going to have to bring impact so i took a lot of actions around that that a lot of farcical interests were not very happy about and do really soul the newbie in the house asking this question doesnt come off as. A nice. Gesture you know people would say is it because youre a woman is that because of your new. Into the government system and if i look at it from that perspective i would start taking it very personally i see this not so much about. What they are in prison right now and thats the transformation. I take from that perspective and. I believe that by their was me be here as a woman are not this is agenda would have been a fed resistance no want to. Give up to not come in we didnt describe any meeting and i got a bit in the muck out of. Just the minute you might want to get the game and just let me know then it makes economy. Pretty much a very busy like. One of those that im in the taking a break today but its pretty. Crazy schedule
