More than anybody else around the world, people in Afghanistan were concerned about who would succeed George Bush in the White House.

Speaking early on Wednesday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he hoped Obama's election would bring peace, life and prosperity to Afghan people.
 
Afghans are expecting the new White House occupant will change the US approach when it comes to dealing with their country.
 
So, does a change in the White House mean a change in Afghanistan? And what does Afghanistan expect from Obama?
 
Inside Story, with presenter Nick Clark, discusses the issue in a special episode from Kabul.

This episode of Inside Story airs from 2230GMT on Wednesday, November 5, 2008, and repeats at 0430GMT and 0830GMT on Thursday, November 6, 2008.
