TOPSHOTS-AFGHANISTAN-ELECTION-UNREST
TOPSHOTS
Afghan residents wishing to vote line up underneath a billboard showing images of Afghan President Hamid Karzai (L) and of deceased Afghan figures Burhandin Rabani (R) and Ahmad Shah Massoud (C) outside a polling station in Mazar-i-Sharif on April 5, 2014. Afghan voters went to the polls Saturday to choose a successor to President Hamid Karzai, braving Taliban threats in a landmark election held as US-led forces wind down their long intervention in the country. Afghanistan's third presidential election brings an end to 13 years of rule by Karzai, who has held power since the Taliban were ousted in a US-led invasion in 2001, and will be the first democratic handover of power in the country's turbulent history.
