Daunting challenges lying ahead of the Post Karzai government in Afghanistan

The controversy surrounding the Afghan polls doesnt seem to end. The dangerous standoff between the two leading presidential candidates has fuelled concern that protests could spiral into ethnic unrest and may seriously hurt the stability of Afghanistan. At a time, when the Afghan security forces are already burdened with managing their internal security, with the imminent exit of ISAF forces, this doesnt augur well for the country embattling with terrorism and narcotics, fuelled by a resurgent Taliban.
