What's next in Afghanistan

Hamid Karzai, the incumbent president, was declared the winner of the Afghan elections by default. He's now vowed to form an "inclusive" government, saying it will represent all his countrymen.

Here’s my take on what’s next on Afghanistan's political horizon:

1. Formation of new government and cabinet

Karzai is being urged by the international community to come up with an “inclusive” government, possibly with some of Dr Abdullah’s supporters in key cabinet posts. Karzai will face other pressures too.
