The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), which sponsored the delegation, thanks all those who contributed to this important endeavor. NDI board member Kenneth Melley led a five-member, pre­ election mission, which visited Pakistan from September 9-16. The work of the pre-election mission provided the basis for deciding to send an international delegation and for determining the delegation's terms of reference. The members of the international delegation gave generously of their time, not only by participating in the election mission, but also by reviewing diligently the post-election analysis performed as part of the project. NDI owes a special debt of gratitude to the delegation leaders: former Turkish Foreign Minister Vahit Halefoglu and Senator Stanislaw Dembinski of Poland. Their leadership and their personal experiences and expertise were critical to the delegation's activities. The contribution of delegation member Lee Feldman deserves special mention.

  • Flashpoint: Pakistan in Crisis
    To approach Rabwah, home to Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi sect, it is necessary to pass through Chiniot, an ancient town said to have been first populated by Alexander the Great of Macedonia, in 326 BC . Today, Chiniot, which stands amidst the lush green countryside of the Punjab province, is known chiefly for its skilled furniture craftsmen. The town is a bustling, but run-down urban centre – the cascading monsoon rain failing to wash away the grime and squalor that hangs all around. It is on the peeling, yellow-plastered walls of Chiniot that the first signs of the hatred directed against the Ahmadi community appear. The movement – named for its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (located in the Indian Punjab) – Karachi broke away from mainstream Islam in 1889. The slogans, etched out in the flowing Urdu script, call on Muslims to ‘Kill Ahmadi non-believers’. apparent every official building is heavily fortified – Rabwah, a town of some 50,000 people, houses even the holy places and the parks – testifying to the the largest concentration of Ahmadis in Pakistan. fact that Rabwah remains a town under siege.
