Afghan Presidential Campaign Begins

Campaigning for Afghanistan's presidential election has officially begun.

Eleven candidates are vying to succeed President Hamid Karzai in the April 5 vote.

Karzai has essentially run Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 drove the Taliban from power and is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term.

While the field of 11 could narrow as the campaign grinds on, there is currently no clear leading contender.

None of the candidates is expected to garner the majority needed to avoid a runoff.

Analysts say the vote is key to the future of Afghanistan.

Billions of dollars in foreign aid are tied to the government's holding a free and fair election, the first independent vote organized by Afghanistan without direct foreign assistance.

Warmachine Cryx Skarlock Recent Reviews

My Skarlock Thrall arrived and looked amazing. The only problems I had with the manufactured goods was having to bend the "ectoplasm" on the head cut to get it to line up with the mid section. Additionally, it was kinda hard to get the tail end of the ectoplasm to attach by the book. All in all, a actually nice looking cut and an almost essential cut for your Cryx army. - Robert Powers it showed up on time, and it was very fussy and not broken. and it wasn't ridiculously expensive. a good deal. - Morgan Hubert Warmachine Cryx Skarlock Enclosed in foggy, necromantic runes of reanimation, the Skarlock provides Cryxian warcasters with additional spell support and a longer reach in the gathering of souls.
