| 2010-11-21 |
| [Tolo News] The United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society special representative to Afghanistan has said that Taliban's contact with the Afghan government and a surge in operations in the south show the Taliban are tired of the fight Staffen de Mistura, the UN special envoy said in Kabul that talks for bringing an end to the Afghan war have entered into a sensitive phase and involved sides understand that end of the war is approaching and they prepare themselves for talks. The reason for the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan is 9/11 and the forces haven't been sent to turn Afghanistan into Swiss and to expect a high management without corruption and respect to human's rights, he said. But some Afghan political analysts have a different hold of the war and argue that military pressures could be effective on high level Taliban officials. An Afghan political analyst, Haroun Mir told TOLOnews: "These pressures could be over mid-level commanders of the Taliban who participate in operations and live in Afghanistan, but the Taliban leadership will be under no sort of pressures." Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... the Guardian has quoted some donors that military offensives have increased three times in Afghanistan after Gen. David Petraeus took the command of foreign forces in the country. |
