AFGHANISTAN-ELECTION-UNREST-FILES
(FILES) In this photograph taken on June 14, 2014, an Afghan resident casts her ballot at a polling station in Jalalabad. An audit of votes cast in Afghanistan's presidential election resumed without the backing of Abdullah Abdullah, one of the two candidates, officials said, as the fraud-tainted poll descended into further uncertainty. The country's first democratic transfer of power has been engulfed in a dispute over alleged fraud, wrecking hopes that the election would be seen as a key achievement of the US-led military and civilian aid effort since 2001. Instead, the contest between Abdullah, a former anti-Taliban resistance fighter, and Ashraf Ghani, an ex-World Bank economist, threatens to spark a spiral of instability as NATO troops pull out and violence increases nationwide.
