Loya jirga
A loya jirga (Pashto: لويه جرګه, "grand assembly") is a special type of jirga that is mainly organized for choosing a new head of state in case of sudden death, adopting a new constitution, or to settle national or regional issue such as war. It predates modern-day written or fixed-laws and is mostly favored by the Pashtun people but to a lesser extent by other nearby groups that have been influenced by Pashtuns (historically known as Afghans).
In Afghanistan, loya jirgas have been reportedly organized since at least the early 18th century when the Hotaki and Durrani dynasties rose to power.
History
The ancient Aryan tribes, who are hypothesized to have spoken Proto-Indo-Iranian, came down in intermittent waves from Central Asia and Afghanistan. They practiced a sort of jirga-system with two types of councils – simite and sabhā. The simite (the summit) comprised elders and tribal chiefs. The king also joined sessions of the simite. Sabhā was a sort of rural council. In India it is referred to as Samiti and Sabha. The Indian parliament however is divided into Rajya Sabha (Senate) and Lok Sabha (House of Representatives) after the Westminster model. The Panchayat Samiti is instead used for rural councils.

2003 loya jirga
A 502-delegate loya jirga convened in Kabul, Afghanistan, on December 14, 2003, to consider the proposed Afghan Constitution. Originally planned to last ten days, the assembly did not endorse the charter until January 4, 2004. As has been generally the case with these assemblies, the endorsement came by way of consensus rather than a vote. Afghanistan's last constitution was drafted for the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in November 1987. Because of strife within the assembly, the 2003 Loya jirga was dubbed, by some Afghans, the "loya jagra" ("big fight").
Drafting the Constitution
The Bonn Agreement of December 2001 required Afghanistan to draft and adopt a new constitution within 2 years. In October 2002, Interim President Hamid Karzai appointed a nine-member Constitutional Drafting Commission, chaired by then Vice-President Nematullah Shahrani. Over the next six months, this body drafted a new constitution, based largely on the 1964 Afghan constitution. The initial draft, written primarily by Abdul Salam Azimi (who would become Chief Justice of Afghanistan's Supreme Court in 2006) was not the subject of in-depth political consultation. In April 2003, Interim President Karzai passed a decree appointing a new 35-member Constitutional Commission and laying out a public consultation process. This commission travelled widely throughout the country and reworked the draft, which was not released to the public until November 2003, only weeks before the Constitutional Convention (Loya Jirga) was scheduled to begin. This process was supported by several international institutions that provided funding, mostly through the UN, and expertise.

2002 loya jirga
An emergency "loya jirga" (Pashto for "grand assembly") was held in Kabul, Afghanistan between 11 and 19 June 2002 to elect a transitional administration. The loya jirga was called for by the Bonn Agreement. The agreement (designed by Afghan leaders) was drawn up in December 2001 in Germany. Conducted under United Nations auspices, the talks at Bonn sought a solution to the problem of government in Afghanistan after the US ousted the Taliban government.
Preparations
Then-UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, announced the composition of the Commission in charge of the loya jirga on 21 January 2002; it was to be chaired by Ismail Qasimyar, a legal and constitutional expert. One of his two deputies was Mahboba Hoqomal, a female lecturer in political science. The commission decided that the Loya Jirga would be open for 1450, of which 1051 would be chosen by an indirect elections. Each district elected 20 people, who then held a secret vote to select one person to represent the whole district. Each of the country's 362 districts had at least one seat, with further seats allotted for every 22,000 people. The commission would reserve another 100 seats for refugees, 25 for nomads, 53 seats for members of the interim administration and the commission and 160 seats for women. It was the first time in the history of Afghanistan that women attended a loya jirga. In May, concern was being expressed that the armed factions in several provinces were influencing the selection of the members of the Loya Jirga and the Commission had received numerous complaints of intimidation and also of violence.

Afghanistan 
i/æfˈɡænᵻstæn/ (Pashto/Dari: افغانستان, Afġānistān), officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located within South Asia and Central Asia. It has a population of approximately 32 million, making it the 42nd most populous country in the world. It is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and China in the far northeast. Its territory covers 652,000 km2 (252,000 sq mi), making it the 41st largest country in the world.
Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic Era, and the country's strategic location along the Silk Road connected it to the cultures of the Middle East and other parts of Asia. Through the ages the land has been home to various peoples and witnessed numerous military campaigns; notably by Alexander the Great, Muslim Arabs, Mongols, British, Soviet Russians, and in the modern-era by Western powers. The land also served as the source from which the Kushans, Hephthalites, Samanids, Saffarids, Ghaznavids, Ghorids, Khiljis, Mughals, Hotaks, Durranis, and others have risen to form major empires.

War in Afghanistan (2001–14)
The War in Afghanistan (or the American war in Afghanistan) is the period in which the United States invaded Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. Supported initially by close allies, they were later joined by NATO beginning in 2003. It followed the Afghan Civil War's 1996–2001 phase. Its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban from power. Key allies, including the United Kingdom, supported the U.S. from the start to the end of the phase. This phase of the War is the longest war in United States history.
In 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda; bin Laden had already been wanted by the United Nations since 1999. The Taliban declined to extradite him unless given what they deemed convincing evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks and declined demands to extradite other terrorism suspects apart from bin Laden. The request was dismissed by the U.S. as a delaying tactic, and on 7 October 2001 it launched Operation Enduring Freedom with the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance. In December 2001, the United Nations Security Council established the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), to assist the Afghan interim authorities with securing Kabul. At the Bonn Conference in December 2001, Hamid Karzai was selected to head the Afghan Interim Administration, which after a 2002 loya jirga in Kabul became the Afghan Transitional Administration. In the popular elections of 2004, Karzai was elected president of the country, now named the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Afghanis-tan
Afghanis-tan (あふがにすタン, Afuganisu-tan, see note on name below) or Afghanistan is a Japanese yonkoma manga, originally published as a webcomic, by Timaking (ちまきing). It is also the name of the heroine of the manga. The manga is nicknamed Afgan (あふがん, Afugan)
Background
Afghanis-tan illustrates the modern history of Afghanistan and its neighboring countries, starting from the imperialist era in the 19th century, through moe anthropomorphism. The title character, a short and clumsy bishōjo, is a national personification of Afghanistan. Other female characters personify the nearby nations of Central Asia, such as Pakistan and Uzbekistan. Nations that have fought wars in Afghanistan at various times, such as Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States also make appearances. The Taliban government and Al-Qaeda terrorist group are also represented in the comic.
Each yonkoma strip is accompanied by an "Afghan Memo" that explains in prose some of the background and history of the nations depicted. Additional pages give short biographies of the characters.

Loya Jirga meets on release of 400 Taliban
(8 Aug 2020) For a second day, a traditional council met in Kabul on Saturday to decide whether to release a final 400 Taliban prisoners, the last hurdle to negotiations between Afghanistan’s political leadership and the Taliban. The Kabul-Taliban negotiations are seen as a critical step toward lasting peace in Afghanistan and a roadmap to what the country might look like after decades of war, with the Taliban joining the political mainstream. They would follow a peace deal the insurgents signed with the United States earlier this year and would decide what constitutional changes would be made in a post-war Afghanistan, and how the rights of women and minorities would be protected. On Saturday, Abdullah Abdullah, the council's chairman and head of the Afghan High Council for National R...

(8 Aug 2020) For a second day, a traditional council met in Kabul on Saturday to decide whether to release a final 400 Taliban prisoners, the last hurdle to negotiations between Afghanistan’s political leadership and the Taliban.
The Kabul-Taliban negotiations are seen as a critical step toward lasting peace in Afghanistan and a roadmap to what the country might look like after decades of war, with the Taliban joining the political mainstream.
They would follow a peace deal the insurgents signed with the United States earlier this year and would decide what constitutional changes would be made in a post-war Afghanistan, and how the rights of women and minorities would be protected.
On Saturday, Abdullah Abdullah, the council's chairman and head of the Afghan High Council for National Reconciliation, said that while discussion "happened in a friendly environment", there are still concerns over the release of prisoners.
Meanwhile the Taliban have rejected the meeting of the council of elders, known as Loya Jirga, claiming it had no legal status.
Since the US-Taliban deal in February, the Taliban have not attacked American and NATO troops, but have continued to wage war on Afghan security forces.
The US and NATO have also begun withdrawing some troops in line with the agreement.
The deal calls on the Taliban to guarantee that Afghanistan will not be used as a staging ground for attacks on the United States or its allies.
The withdrawal of US and NATO troops hinges on the Taliban meeting those commitments and not on a positive outcome to negotiations between the Taliban and Kabul's political leadership.
The deal also called on Kabul to free 5,000 Taliban while the insurgents were to free 1,000 government and military personnel.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has so far freed all but 400 of the Taliban prisoners, insisting on a traditional council to decide their release, saying their crimes were too serious for him to decide on alone.

STORYLINE:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was inaugurated on Wednesday after appointing a cabinet for an 18-month transitional administration.
Joined in a simple ceremony by Chief Justice Fazil Hadi Oshinwari, Karzai vowed to protect the freedom of Afghanistan and uphold the laws of government.
Service medals were later awarded to UN Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and General John McColl, outgoing ISAF commander.
Resolving the dicey issue of his executive Cabinet, the Afghan leader earlier reappointed the interim government's defence and foreign ministers and named an ethnic Pashtun governor from eastern Afghanistan as interior minister.
Karzai also appointed his top adviser, Ashraf Ghani, as finance minister.
The appointments address a key concern of many delegates to the loya jirga, or grand council.
The top three Cabinet posts were dominated by ethnic Tajiks from the Panjshir Valley who had been part of the northern alliance of opposition groups that fought the Taliban militia.
Key appointments included defence minister Mohammed Fahim, the prickly Panjshiri who controls many of the northern alliance forces still in Kabul.
Fahim was also named a deputy president.
Also reappointed as foreign minister was Dr. Abdullah, Fahim's fellow Tajik, who had been the northern alliance's main public face during the final weeks of its campaign to retake Kabul.
The other Panjshiri who had held office in the interim cabinet, Yunus Qanooni, was named education minister.
A Pashtun, Taj Mohammed Wardak, was named interior minister.

The other Panjshiri who had held office in the interim cabinet, Yunus Qanooni, was named education minister.

STORYLINE:
A landmark constitutional convention began in Afghanistan on Sunday with solemn prayers, the hopeful songs of children and a stirring speech by the nation's former king, who echoed the aspirations of his war-weary countrymen with a call for unity and peace.
Some 500 delegates- from village mullahs to Western-educated exiles- were gathered at a huge tent in the battle-scarred capital, Kabul, to hammer out a new constitution in a traditional loya jirga, or grand council. Among the issues they were expected to spar over were the role of Afghan women, Islam's place in politics and the sharing of power in a nation accustomed to fighting over it.
"The people are relying on you and you should not forget them," the 88-year-old former monarch, Mohammad Zaher Shah, told the assembly. "I hope you will try your best to maintain peace, stability and the unity of the Afghan people."
The loya jirga is a key step in the two-year drive to stabilize the country under an empowered central government, and is supposed to lead to landmark national elections slated for June.
The king spoke after a rendition of a traditional Afghan folk song by a group of young children, wearing Nike shirts under richly embroidered traditional vests, that brought several delegates to tears.
Security was extremely tight after warnings from the U.S. military that Taliban militants might try to attack the convention. Afghan soldiers lined the roads leading up to the meeting site, and everyone entering the tent - including the delegates - was patted down for weapons and explosives.
It could take 10 days to several weeks for the loya jirga, meeting at a Kabul college campus, to finalize a 160-article draft drawn up by a constitutional commission.

STORYLINE:
A row broke up among delegates of the Loya Jirga, (Grand Council) in Kabul Wednesday.
Emotions ran high at Afghanistan's landmark constitutional convention when a woman delegate said Jihad (Holy war) leaders should face national and international trial for their actions in the middle nineties when Mujahidin rival sections were fighting for power in and around Kabul, after the fall of the communist government.
Malalai Joya, a delegate from the town of Farah said that "history won't forget what they have done".
The statement caused an outcry among Mujahidin delegates who stood up and surrounded the podium, accusing the delegate of being a communist.
The row ended up eventually after Abdul Rasul Sayaf, a Jihad leader, managed to calm down his supporters.
"I am sure that some people want to undermine this Loya Jirga and want us to fail. But if the Jirga fails, it mean that all Afghan people have failed", he said.
The meeting resumed after Sayaf's speech.
It was the first time that the Loya Jirga, or grand council, was interrupted since it started on Sunday. The conference aims to draw up the country's first post-Taliban constitution.

STORYLINE:
A row broke up among delegates of the Loya Jirga, (Grand Council) in Kabul Wednesday.
Emotions ran high at Afghanistan's landmark constitutional convention when a woman delegate said Jihad (Holy war) leaders should face national and international trial for their actions in the middle nineties when Mujahidin rival sections were fighting for power in and around Kabul, after the fall of the communist government.
Malalai Joya, a delegate from the town of Farah said that "history won't forget what they have done".
The statement caused an outcry among Mujahidin delegates who stood up and surrounded the podium, accusing the delegate of being a communist.
The row ended up eventually after Abdul Rasul Sayaf, a Jihad leader, managed to calm down his supporters.
"I am sure that some people want to undermine this Loya Jirga and want us to fail. But if the Jirga fails, it mean that all Afghan people have failed", he said.
The meeting resumed after Sayaf's speech.
It was the first time that the Loya Jirga, or grand council, was interrupted since it started on Sunday. The conference aims to draw up the country's first post-Taliban constitution.

The Afghan government has convened a council of more than 3,000 Afghan leaders to discuss a future with the Taliban as political partners.
But the Taliban is deeply suspicious of both organisations and neither they nor the opposition are there.

(8 Aug 2020) For a second day, a traditional council met in Kabul on Saturday to decide whether to release a final 400 Taliban prisoners, the last hurdle to negotiations between Afghanistan’s political leadership and the Taliban.
The Kabul-Taliban negotiations are seen as a critical step toward lasting peace in Afghanistan and a roadmap to what the country might look like after decades of war, with the Taliban joining the political mainstream.
They would follow a peace deal the insurgents signed with the United States earlier this year and would decide what constitutional changes would be made in a post-war Afghanistan, and how the rights of women and minorities would be protected.
On Saturday, Abdullah Abdullah, the council's chairman and head of the Afghan High Council for National Reconciliation, said that while discussion "happened in a friendly environment", there are still concerns over the release of prisoners.
Meanwhile the Taliban have rejected the meeting of the council of elders, known as Loya Jirga, claiming it had no legal status.
Since the US-Taliban deal in February, the Taliban have not attacked American and NATO troops, but have continued to wage war on Afghan security forces.
The US and NATO have also begun withdrawing some troops in line with the agreement.
The deal calls on the Taliban to guarantee that Afghanistan will not be used as a staging ground for attacks on the United States or its allies.
The withdrawal of US and NATO troops hinges on the Taliban meeting those commitments and not on a positive outcome to negotiations between the Taliban and Kabul's political leadership.
The deal also called on Kabul to free 5,000 Taliban while the insurgents were to free 1,000 government and military personnel.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has so far freed all but 400 of the Taliban prisoners, insisting on a traditional council to decide their release, saying their crimes were too serious for him to decide on alone.

STORYLINE:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was inaugurated on Wednesday after appointing a cabinet for an 18-month transitional administration.
Joined in a simple ceremony by Chief Justice Fazil Hadi Oshinwari, Karzai vowed to protect the freedom of Afghanistan and uphold the laws of government.
Service medals were later awarded to UN Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and General John McColl, outgoing ISAF commander.
Resolving the dicey issue of his executive Cabinet, the Afghan leader earlier reappointed the interim government's defence and foreign ministers and named an ethnic Pashtun governor from eastern Afghanistan as interior minister.
Karzai also appointed his top adviser, Ashraf Ghani, as finance minister.
The appointments address a key concern of many delegates to the loya jirga, or grand council.
The top three Cabinet posts were dominated by ethnic Tajiks from the Panjshir Valley who had been part of the northern alliance of opposition groups that fought the Taliban militia.
Key appointments included defence minister Mohammed Fahim, the prickly Panjshiri who controls many of the northern alliance forces still in Kabul.
Fahim was also named a deputy president.
Also reappointed as foreign minister was Dr. Abdullah, Fahim's fellow Tajik, who had been the northern alliance's main public face during the final weeks of its campaign to retake Kabul.
The other Panjshiri who had held office in the interim cabinet, Yunus Qanooni, was named education minister.
A Pashtun, Taj Mohammed Wardak, was named interior minister.

12. Wide of Karzai at podium
STORYLINE:
A landmark constitutional convention began in Afghanistan on Sunday with solemn prayers, the hopeful songs of children and a stirring speech by the nation's former king, who echoed the aspirations of his war-weary countrymen with a call for unity and peace.
Some 500 delegates- from village mullahs to Western-educated exiles- were gathered at a huge tent in the battle-scarred capital, Kabul, to hammer out a new constitution in a traditional loya jirga, or grand council. Among the issues they were expected to spar over were the role of Afghan women, Islam's place in politics and the sharing of power in a nation accustomed to fighting over it.
"The people are relying on you and you should not forget them," the 88-year-old former monarch, Mohammad Zaher Shah, told the assembly. "I hope you will try your best to maintain peace, stability and the unity of the Afghan people."
The loya jirga is a key step in the two-year drive to stabilize the country under an empowered central government, and is supposed to lead to landmark national elections slated for June.
The king spoke after a rendition of a traditional Afghan folk song by a group of young children, wearing Nike shirts under richly embroidered traditional vests, that brought several delegates to tears.
Security was extremely tight after warnings from the U.S. military that Taliban militants might try to attack the convention. Afghan soldiers lined the roads leading up to the meeting site, and everyone entering the tent - including the delegates - was patted down for weapons and explosives.
It could take 10 days to several weeks for the loya jirga, meeting at a Kabul college campus, to finalize a 160-article draft drawn up by a constitutional commission.

Loya jirga
A loya jirga (Pashto: لويه جرګه, "grand assembly") is a special type of jirga that is mainly organized for choosing a new head of state in case of sudden death, adopting a new constitution, or to settle national or regional issue such as war. It predates modern-day written or fixed-laws and is mostly favored by the Pashtun people but to a lesser extent by other nearby groups that have been influenced by Pashtuns (historically known as Afghans).
In Afghanistan, loya jirgas have been reportedly organized since at least the early 18th century when the Hotaki and Durrani dynasties rose to power.
History
The ancient Aryan tribes, who are hypothesized to have spoken Proto-Indo-Iranian, came down in intermittent waves from Central Asia and Afghanistan. They practiced a sort of jirga-system with two types of councils – simite and sabhā. The simite (the summit) comprised elders and tribal chiefs. The king also joined sessions of the simite. Sabhā was a sort of rural council. In India it is referred to as Samiti and Sabha. The Indian parliament however is divided into Rajya Sabha (Senate) and Lok Sabha (House of Representatives) after the Westminster model. The Panchayat Samiti is instead used for rural councils.
