UNAMA
November 2006 Poll:
42% of voters believe that holding jirgas will not bring peace.
An informal online poll, conducted by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan
during the month of November 2006 has found that a majority of respondents
believe that holding of jirgas with people from both sides of the Durand Line
(Afghanistan-Pakistan border) will not bring peace in Afghanistan.
The UNAMA online poll permits respondents one vote per computer. It is an informal poll only and is open to participation by any visitor to the UNAMA website www.unama-afg.org. For September 2006, and based on data showing geographic location of servers, we estimate that up to 6 percent of respondents may have been UNAMA staff.
A new poll question appears each month on the UNAMA website. For information about and results of the August 2006 online poll click here.
