Events in Afghanistan have been a cause for serious concern for a number of years. The world must not forget the Afghan people, who continue to suffer from the impact of wars waged by those who value their economic and geo-strategic interests ahead of people’s well being.
The Taliban regime was appalling. Equally appalling, however, was the war started by the US Administration, under the pretext of combating terrorism. More than two years on, it is clear that the war did not solve the underlying problems of the Afghan people, nor did it help to support the country’s move towards democracy.
As the report says, ‘the deteriorating security situation is the main threat to the population of Afghanistan and to the efforts of Afghan and international NGOs supporting reconstruction, rehabilitation and development initiatives and to the peace process in general’.
Events today in Afghanistan, and indeed in Iraq, clearly demonstrate the complete mistake of going to war. The Bush Administration should be condemned for the appalling situation in these countries and for the terrible suffering of the majority of the population."@en1
