Afghanistan-Umfrage Dezember 2010
Afghanistan-Umfrage Dezember 2010
- Von ARD, ABC, BBC und Washington Post -
Die sechste Umfrage von ARD, ABC, BBC und „Washington Post“ basiert auf der
Befragung von 1691 repräsentativ ausgewählten Afghaninnen und Afghanen in allen 34
Provinzen. Durchgeführt wurde die Studie mit rund 150 Fragen im November 2010 in
persönlichen Interviews von 98 weiblichen und 111 männlichen Interviewern des „Afghan
Center for Socio-Economic and Opinion Research“ (ACSOR). Die Befragung erfolgte in der
jeweiligen Stammessprache – wobei Frauen nur von Frauen interviewt wurden.
Auf ähnliche Umfragen stützen im Übrigen auch Pentagon und NATO ihre Planungen.
Deren Erkenntnisse bleiben aber vertraulich und stehen weder in den USA noch in
Europa für die breite politische Debatte zur Verfügung.

54. There can be differences between the ways government is set up in a country, called
the political system. From the three options I am going to read to you, which one do you
think is best for Afghanistan at this time - strong leader, where one man rules for life
and has final say in all political matters; Islamic state, where religious authorities have
final say in all political matters; or Democracy, where the people can vote in elections
to choose political leaders who then direct political matters?
