Nepotism in Afghanistan

From February 16 report filed by Matthew Rosenberg for New York Times,
After Scuffle at Afghan Embassy [in Washington], a Spotlight on Connections

[A] rampant problem for Afghanistan: nepotism that runs up and down the government, from teaching appointments in rural schools to posts at the country’s well-appointed embassies in Western capitals, like the Afghan mission in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington.

The perception that the best jobs — as well as the most lucrative business deals — go to those with the best connections has sharply undermined popular support for the Afghan government.

Of course this problem is rampant in the least 'developed' countries but it's especially cancerous in a war-torn country.
