Next month, Afghanistan goes to the polls and its president, Hamid Karzai steps down. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Kabul correspondent, David Loyn, talks to his cousin, political analyst Hekmat Karzai. Western-educated and urbane, Hekmat Karzai nonetheless has to operate in a system where what your grandfather did can be more important than your own achievements, and where blood feuds can cut short a political career - both his father and his nephew were assassinated.
