"We are all agreed that the situation in the fourth least developed country in the world remains tragic, despite a number of encouraging signs since the start of the reconstruction of the country. Of course, the problems are not only military and strategic, but a total victory over the Taliban remains, of course, the
for the construction of a viable state with an independent judiciary and critical media. As far as this last point is concerned, I applaud the fact that this report points out that the Afghan Constitution still does not guarantee freedom of religion, because unfaithfulness to Islam remains a criminal offence. The regime that is being supported by the West must, therefore, make further efforts.
What I do miss in this report is a statement that victory over the Taliban requires a strategy with respect to Pakistan, whose territory continues to be a safe haven for terrorists: everyone knows that it gives logistical support to those terrorists, as became evident again yesterday in the attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul. A policy for Afghanistan must therefore be an integrated policy for the whole region; otherwise, it will be doomed to failure."@en1
