Still processing the events of yesterday/ E Day. Many things could be better but that doesn’t take away from the courage & commitment of everyone who participated & contributed despite d real environment of fear & insecurity. I am in awe & inspired.
When I woke up from a night of little & poor sleep yesterday, I had an anxious knot in my stomach, worrying about security, specially 4 my @AfghanistanIHRC colleagues observing d elections across Af. I hugged my son extra tight as I left d house, mentally prepared 4 d worst
I was thus inspired all day, by our security forces, by women who voted holding their babies, by voters with disabilities, by everyone who participated despite direct Taliban threat, despite d lack of support 4 elections & d general negative discourse preceding E day.
Turnout could be higher. The process could be smoother. But the security arrangements, d relative responsiveness of IEC & above of all, d courage of Afg voters, observers & media made yesterday historic & inspiring.
