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.

Rainout (sports)
Rainout, washout, rain delay, and rain stopped play are terms regarding an outdoor event, generally a sporting event, delayed or canceled due to rain, or the threat of rain. It is not to be confused with a type of out in baseball, though a baseball game can be rained out. Delays due to other forms of weather are named "snow delay", "lightning delay", "thunderstorm delay", or "fog delay", while there are many other effects of weather on sport. Also, a night game can be delayed if the floodlight system fails. Often spectators will be issued a ticket for a make up event, known as a "rain check".
Sports typically stopped due to the onset of rain include golf, tennis, and cricket, where even slightly damp conditions seriously affect playing quality and the players' safety. In the case of tennis, several venues (such as those of Wimbledon and the Australian Open) have built retractable roofs atop their existing courts and stadiums in the last decade to avert rain delays that could push a tournament further than the final date.

The brave and historical speech of Malalai Joya in the LJ
Dec.17, 2003, Loya Jirga in Kabul When her time came to make her 3-minute statement, she tugged her black headscarf over her hair, stepped up to the microphone, and with emotional electricity made the speech that would alter her life. After she spoke, there was a moment of stunned silence. Then there was an uproar. Male mujahideen, some who literally had guns at their feet, rushed towards her, shouting. She was brought under the protection of UN security forces. In a nation where few dare to say the word "warlord" aloud, Joya had spoken fiercely against a proposal to appoint high clergy members and fundamentalist leaders to guide planning groups. She objected that several of those religious leaders were war criminals who should be tried for their actions—not national heroes to i...

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.

Security was tight in the Afghan capital, Kabul on Sunday as around 500 delegates gathered in a huge tent to draw up a new constitution in a traditional loya jirga, or grand council.
The US military had warned that Taliban militants might try to attack the Kabul convention.
Afghan soldiers lined the roads leading up to the meeting site, and everyone entering the tent - including the delegates - were checked for weapons and explosives.
Among the issues discussed: the draft constitution, Islam's place in politics and the sharing of power in the country.
President Hamid Karzai also spoke about the continuing threat of terrorism in Afghanistan.
The loya jirga is a key step in the two-year drive to stabilise the country under an empowered central government, and is supposed to lead to landmark national elections slated for June.
It could take 10 days to several weeks for the loya jirga, meeting at a Kabul college campus, to finalise a 160-article draft drawn up by a constitutional commission.

STORYLINE:
A female delegate at a landmark constitutional council in Afghanistan is under UN protection after her outburst against Afghan warlords raised fears of a violent backlash.
The controversy threatens to overshadow the work of the council, or loya jirga, which has brought together 500 delegates from across Afghanistan to debate and ratify a new constitution that will set the war-plagued country on the road to democratic elections.
Malalai Joya, a delegate from western Farah province, has been moved from the compound housing other representatives and is staying at a guarded UN facility, though she is still attending sessions during the day, according to Nadeera Hayat Barhani, a female delegate from Balkh province.
UN spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva acknowledged that Joya was under UN protection, but would not say where.
Joya sparked controversy on Wednesday when she decried the positions of influence given to faction leaders such as former President Burhanuddin Rabbani and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, a deeply conservative Islamist.
The men, who were key participants in Afghanistan's ruinous civil war in the 1990s, have been selected as committee chairmen at the council, or loya jirga.
Another female delegate, Anahika Adamir, said that Joya lost six family members in a rocket attack during the civil war and was being accompanied to and from the loya jirga site by UN personnel.
Joya's comments sparked a shouting match with several hard-liners at the jirga, who denounced her as a communist and demanded she be removed from the session.
On Thursday, Amnesty International criticised the treatment of Joya, saying she had received death threats on the floor of the assembly. They called on the council chairman, an ally of President Hamid Karzai, to ensure her right to speak.

9. SOUNDBITE (Pashto) President Hamid Karzai:
"The different committees of the constitution draft had lengthy discussions regarding whether the political system of Afghanistan should be parliamentary or presidential systems. We had one year discussions on it. We were also involved in these discussions Considering the current situation of the country and national benefits, we came to the conclusion that the best political system for the country is Islamic presidential republic system. Our reasons presenting this system are we do not have powerful national political parties in our countries."

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.
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 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 reading from the Quran by a blind cleric and 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.
Many delegates wore fine silk robes, some with western suit jackets slung over them. Yellow, burgundy and cream colored turbans jutted out from the crowd, as did the simple woolen caps worn famously by slain former Northern Alliance commander Ahmed Shah Masood.
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.
Delegates predicted fiery arguments over calls by the U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai for a strong chief executive, with opponents pushing for a prime minister who would share power. Karzai this week said he would not stand in next year's elections if a strong prime minister's post is created.

STORYLINE:
The loya jirga -- Afghanistan's grand council -- began its second day of talks on Monday aimed at finalizing the country's first post-Taliban constitution.
Hundreds of delegates, from village mullahs to Western-educated exiles, gathered in a huge tent in the capital Kabul.
Hundreds of soldiers guarded the event after warnings from the US military that militants might try to attack.
The council is deciding vital issues like the makeup of Islamic Afghanistan and the role of the country's women.
President Hamid Karzai pressed on Sunday for a strong presidential system that would stand up to the resurgent Taliban and make the country safe for aid workers and foreign investors.
The 160-article draft constitution foresees no post of prime minister in a highly centralized government and would allow the president to appoint top officials, even in the provinces, where warlords continue to hold power.
Karzai said this week he would not run in the scheduled June elections if a strong prime minister's post is created.

Dec.17, 2003, Loya Jirga in Kabul
When her time came to make her 3-minute statement, she tugged her black headscarf over her hair, stepped up to the microphone, and with emotional electricity made the speech that would alter her life.
After she spoke, there was a moment of stunned silence. Then there was an uproar. Male mujahideen, some who literally had guns at their feet, rushed towards her, shouting. She was brought under the protection of UN security forces.
In a nation where few dare to say the word "warlord" aloud, Joya had spoken fiercely against a proposal to appoint high clergy members and fundamentalist leaders to guide planning groups. She objected that several of those religious leaders were war criminals who should be tried for their actions—not national heroes to influence the new government.
Despite the commands of Assembly Chairman, Joya refused to apologize.
Today, as a result of her legendary actions, Malalai Joya has become popular hero in Afghanistan. She speaks at rallies where thousands of people carry her photo high.

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:
Security was tight in the Afghan capital, Kabul on Sunday as around 500 delegates gathered in a huge tent to draw up a new constitution in a traditional loya jirga, or grand council.
The US military had warned that Taliban militants might try to attack the Kabul convention.
Afghan soldiers lined the roads leading up to the meeting site, and everyone entering the tent - including the delegates - were checked for weapons and explosives.
Among the issues discussed: the draft constitution, Islam's place in politics and the sharing of power in the country.
President Hamid Karzai also spoke about the continuing threat of terrorism in Afghanistan.
The loya jirga is a key step in the two-year drive to stabilise the country under an empowered central government, and is supposed to lead to landmark national elections slated for June.
It could take 10 days to several weeks for the loya jirga, meeting at a Kabul college campus, to finalise a 160-article draft drawn up by a constitutional commission.

STORYLINE:
A female delegate at a landmark constitutional council in Afghanistan is under UN protection after her outburst against Afghan warlords raised fears of a violent backlash.
The controversy threatens to overshadow the work of the council, or loya jirga, which has brought together 500 delegates from across Afghanistan to debate and ratify a new constitution that will set the war-plagued country on the road to democratic elections.
Malalai Joya, a delegate from western Farah province, has been moved from the compound housing other representatives and is staying at a guarded UN facility, though she is still attending sessions during the day, according to Nadeera Hayat Barhani, a female delegate from Balkh province.
UN spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva acknowledged that Joya was under UN protection, but would not say where.
Joya sparked controversy on Wednesday when she decried the positions of influence given to faction leaders such as former President Burhanuddin Rabbani and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, a deeply conservative Islamist.
The men, who were key participants in Afghanistan's ruinous civil war in the 1990s, have been selected as committee chairmen at the council, or loya jirga.
Another female delegate, Anahika Adamir, said that Joya lost six family members in a rocket attack during the civil war and was being accompanied to and from the loya jirga site by UN personnel.
Joya's comments sparked a shouting match with several hard-liners at the jirga, who denounced her as a communist and demanded she be removed from the session.
On Thursday, Amnesty International criticised the treatment of Joya, saying she had received death threats on the floor of the assembly. They called on the council chairman, an ally of President Hamid Karzai, to ensure her right to speak.

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.
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.

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 reading from the Quran by a blind cleric and 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.
Many delegates wore fine silk robes, some with western suit jackets slung over them. Yellow, burgundy and cream colored turbans jutted out from the crowd, as did the simple woolen caps worn famously by slain former Northern Alliance commander Ahmed Shah Masood.
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.
Delegates predicted fiery arguments over calls by the U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai for a strong chief executive, with opponents pushing for a prime minister who would share power. Karzai this week said he would not stand in next year's elections if a strong prime minister's post is created.

STORYLINE:
The loya jirga -- Afghanistan's grand council -- began its second day of talks on Monday aimed at finalizing the country's first post-Taliban constitution.
Hundreds of delegates, from village mullahs to Western-educated exiles, gathered in a huge tent in the capital Kabul.
Hundreds of soldiers guarded the event after warnings from the US military that militants might try to attack.
The council is deciding vital issues like the makeup of Islamic Afghanistan and the role of the country's women.
President Hamid Karzai pressed on Sunday for a strong presidential system that would stand up to the resurgent Taliban and make the country safe for aid workers and foreign investors.
The 160-article draft constitution foresees no post of prime minister in a highly centralized government and would allow the president to appoint top officials, even in the provinces, where warlords continue to hold power.
Karzai said this week he would not run in the scheduled June elections if a strong prime minister's post is created.

Dec.17, 2003, Loya Jirga in Kabul
When her time came to make her 3-minute statement, she tugged her black headscarf over her hair, stepped up to the microphone, and with emotional electricity made the speech that would alter her life.
After she spoke, there was a moment of stunned silence. Then there was an uproar. Male mujahideen, some who literally had guns at their feet, rushed towards her, shouting. She was brought under the protection of UN security forces.
In a nation where few dare to say the word "warlord" aloud, Joya had spoken fiercely against a proposal to appoint high clergy members and fundamentalist leaders to guide planning groups. She objected that several of those religious leaders were war criminals who should be tried for their actions—not national heroes to influence the new government.
Despite the commands of Assembly Chairman, Joya refused to apologize.
Today, as a result of her legendary actions, Malalai Joya has become popular hero in Afghanistan. She speaks at rallies where thousands of people carry her photo high.
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.
