Afghan Govt Criticises New US War Strategy
[Tolo News] In the New US war strategy there hasn't been much focus on some main challenges tackling peace and stability in Afghanistan, a top Afghan official said on Monday

President Karzai's front man, Wahid Omar, told news hounds that there are some sections in the Afghanistan report which are being welcomed by the Afghan government.

But the report doesn't focus enough on some other parts in particular about the decrease of civilian deaths, economical improvement and dissolving of organisations that are parallel to Afghan government.

Following the publication of the US report on Afghanistan and Pakistain, the Afghan government greatly welcomed some parts of the report that were centred on destruction of thugs' safe havens, Afghan grinding of the peace processor, reintegration of anti-government groups, and security transition.

"We hope the points we discussed get some more focus in the future and one of the points is a stop or down turn of civilian deaths in Afghanistan," said Mr Omar.

While making comments about some military progress, he said the progress has been fragile.

"We agree that there were some military progress in the last year, and we also agree that the progress has been fragile and reversible," he said.
