One to One - David Loyn talks to Hekmat Karzai
Download David Loyn talks to Hekmat Karzai
Next month, Afghanistan goes to the polls and its president, Hamid Karzai steps down. The BBC's Kabul correspondent, David Loyn, talks to his cousin, political analyst Hekmat Karzai. Western-educated and urbane, Hekmat Karzai nonetheless has to operate in a system where what your grandfather did can be more important than your own achievements, and where blood feuds can cut short a political career - both his father and his nephew were assassinated. What chance does Afghanistan have of moving towards a stable democracy?
Producer: Jolyon Jenkins.
