Karlotta BahnsenNovember 19, 2009

We start in Afghanistan...where president Hamid Karzai has made a pledge to combat corruption at the start of his second term in office. Karzai was sworn in earlier at a ceremony attended by foreign ministers from the US and Europe. Western governments have indicated future financial aid could be conditional on ending corruption. Karzai won a second term in an election that was marred by massive irregularities.
