Among the many people who have entered the current Presidential race, one of them is a familiar face: Dr. Abdullah Abdullah. A trusted long-time advisor to our national hero, Martyr Ahmad Shah Massoud, Dr. Abdullah served as Afghanistan's Foreign Minister after the collapse of the Taliban regime.

Dr. Abdullah has earned the respect and admiration of world leaders, and his own people, as a voice of moderation and consensus. He has consistently worked for peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan, as well as advocating the reform of government institutions. Dr. Abdullah says that there can be no greater priority than regaining the trust of the Afghan people, who have waited too long for a responsible government, one that puts their needs first.

For voters in Afghanistan who may not be familiar with his personal and political accomplishments, Dr. Abdullah’s Campaign team has provided this review of his life.
