An emerging social fragmentation is possible in a country which has seen three decades of war and violence. The present social disorders, political crisis and economic stagnation are some vital factors which may lead the country to a calamity. This chronic problem has debilitated the country and its social fabric. Our social and political institutions have entirely crumbled and degenerated due to this chaos. An ominous shadow darkens the country more than ever before. Indeed, the three decades of war caused a great havoc in Afghanistan which has left our politicians in confusion. Therefore, it is believed that Afghan officials will have to be on their toes. The political elites need to think of effective ways of improving the situation.

Political struggle is not only going on amongst the political candidates for office but also exists amongst some of the countries that have a stake in the economic and political prospects of Afghanistan. A veil of mystery surrounds political talk which is going on between Afghan and foreign political leaders. The political organism is being dismantled by several political parties which are operating under different names.

In addition, the balance of power may turn into a controversial issue. As elections approach, the political rivalry is strongly running amongst Afghan candidates who are necessarily linked with political parties. The elections will highlight the bitter fact that Afghan people vote more on ethnic grounds and links rather than by reasons of logic. Of course, a war-torn country that has experienced three decades of war, including a civil war, will not gain political maturity within a decade of experiencing so-called democracy. Moreover, within the last decade of presidential-style government, ethnic discrimination was easily tangible especially in official places and in the political fields. No doubt, it will take a long time to eliminate ethnic conflicts from the country. Moreover Afghan people are stuck in maze which is not an easy national path.

In the current hustle and bustle of presidential election, the attention and energy of the government authorities are diverted from official activities to electoral cases. It seems that the government officials are worried about the members of their parties and some are campaigning for them overtly or covertly, officially or non-officially. It is crystal clear that ethnic and factional tendencies overshadow any other interests and priorities across the country and this is a tragedy. In such a case, minority groups will always be the losers and will be treated with injustice. So, if the current trends go on in the country, peace and prosperity will remain a dream for ever.
