The Afghanis were just voicing opinion - that is the way they run elections over there.

Last man standing that still has a supply of ammunition is the winner.

The article said it was a Harzara demonstration. Afghanistan is ethnically divided. There’s 50 different languages, with Pashtuns and Tajiks the main ethnic groups, followed by Uzbeks, Hazaras, Nurustanis, and others. It’s like so many other middle eastern nations Britian cobbled together to deliberately weaken them. For example, the Pashtuns should be their own nation but are split between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Hazaras are a minority often discriminated against with an appearance and customs different from others.
