Afghan's New Leadership

                                                       Afghan's New Leadership

Afghanistan has looked for new leaders after the predecessor, Hamic Karzai's rein for 13 years.  Ashraf Ghani has been elected and has come into power with a $1 billion scandal to resolve, and a suffering economy itself to resolve.  Now the country is having more difficulty trusting their government, because President Ghani has yet to appoint his cabinet.  This is causing discomfort all around because he has overlooked his main responsibilities.  From this difficulty, new ideas have evolved, such as letting women step into power, even if it is a small role, like being in the cabinet,  

I think this could be very beneficial for Afghanistan to have a new sense of direction and government.  I also think with this new government comes opportunities and struggles.  One of the biggest things would be women's rights in Afghanistan.  This could slowly evolve into something bigger, like equal rights.

How do you think the new president will impact Afghanistan?

How does this effect the whole world?
