The visiting German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer at a news conference in Kabul said she hopes the Afghan election results are announced in the near future, and she hopes results will be accepted by all stakeholders.

She also said that Berlin will help Afghanistan to achieve peace.

The Asia Foundation’s 2019 survey, released on Tuesday, in a section titled “Access to Information and Media”  reported a continuing “downward trend” for radio use, but the survey indicated that 65.9% of respondents in 2019 watch television as a source of news and information--an 11.2 percentage point increase since 2013.

86.7% of respondents identify family and friends as a source of news and information, the report said, which topped the list.
