weeks following the death of general rasik the taliban will make an attempt to try and take over khandahar this will be that will be the test of whether of who is winning but no doubt about it this is a huge new challenge for afghanistan just quickly david your thoughts on the election we are less than forty eight hours the out now water your hopes are regularly election day and how it might. well it's a it's a big experiment they are putting new technology into place right afghanistan with over ten thousand mish identification machines and been used before there are a lot of possible pitfalls if there is a fairly large turnout particularly in the cities and if some really new people are elected to new reformers who are elected this could do despite all the problems be a step forward for afghanistan but these latest attacks make that a bigger challenge than it was just twelve hours ago and yet david said they always a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time afghanistan's shia minority has significant sway in politics holding twenty percent of seats in parliament but that may change

city in afghanistan it's also called the heartland of the taliban so killing the police chief of khandahar is a big deal and this wasn't just any police chief he was a very important figure for stability and i understand he's faced dozens of assassination attempts and survived them this sends a message how afraid are people going to be now about going to the polls of course people are asking themselves if this important figure and he's one of the key figures he was one of the key figures in the south of ghana son gets killed what does this say about our situation about our security situation of course he was very important he is hailed a hero now in afghanistan but of course a lot of people also forget that he was accused of a lot of human rights abuses us. stay with us we're going to come back to you in just a moment with all the uncertainty and potential for more violence that's surrounding understands planned elections candidates have reason to be concerned ten have been assassinated in the last two months alone but. so the. afghan american who was born and raised in the u.s. is undeter

whole approach comes with its own security risk because from what i understand now the future of khandahar maybe the entire afghanistan is now up in the air yes of course the roads have been very important yes assignation off . the killing off the road was a cop important and for the past seven kids we have you seen that some very important prominent commanders and i got on t.v. but as you could talk afghanistan i guess the top one dead being assassinated one by one that has been a change officer nation off killing for the past seventeen years to save time it does not been done that would break the weight off the afghan people down here. unfortunately what is happening with this pattern officer nation one by one of course that's weakening he had enough on a sunday speaking to all good to go to the book to people to go to doing cleve made that they are somehow sidelining to so-called warlords but the story is that this is not the wardog this is afghanistan as in the say this stage of the war so you can you must have the people who go to this terrorism here and have been resisting terrorism
