Afghan Elections: Why So Many Politicians Run in Kabul, TIME (2010)

This article discusses the political situation and the electoral campaign in the Afghan capital, Kabul. More than a quarter of all candidates are running in this city, and the article tries to explain the reasons for this. Most of the people in Afghanistan moved to Kabul to find refuge from the lawlessness and violence in the provinces. Many candidates are even running for their provinces of origins from the capital, without ever going in their home town. Another factor that is drawing candidates to the capital is the amount of money coming from the war economy.
