President Hamid Karzai will fly to Washington to visit Barack Obama in two weeks.

The Afghan president and his American counterpart are going to discuss ways to fight the insurgency, the control of prisons in Afghanistan and the presence of US soldiers after 2014 in the context of the Kabul-Washington security agreement.

Several questions linger in the lead-up to the meeting.

Is the termination of Nato's fighting mission at the end of 2013 the right decision given Afghanistan's security situation?

What are points of agreement and disagreement between Kabul and Washington on the trip?

Will Obama seek assurances from Karzai about an orderly political transition?

The quests:

Hadee Khalid, former deputy minister of interior

Wahid Omar, member of Afghanistan 1400 movement.

Saleh Mohammad Registani, former MP.

Aminullah Habibi, senior Isaf adviser
