AFGHANISTAN-ELECTION

Afghan President-elect Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai (C) holds hands with supporters as they gesture to the crowd during a gathering in Kabul on September 22, 2014. Afghanistan's new President-elect Ashraf Ghani congratulated the country on September 22 on what he called its first democratic transfer of power, but the former rival with whom he signed a power-sharing deal was absent from celebrations. Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah struck an agreement September 21 to form a "unity government", after months of disputes over who was rightful winner of the June 14 runoff presidential election tipped Afghanistan into a political crisis.
