Thank you for being here, sir.
I appreciate the presentation you gave, especially your insistence on how complex the situation is. The Afghanistan question is often presented in a really simplistic way, I feel.
You stressed the fact that simply substituting international troops with local government ones cannot be a solution, given the power relationships in Afghanistan. That is a very relevant comment, in my opinion. So how can we pressure the Afghan government to recognize in some way the type of motivation that keeps the warring sides fighting? What do we have to do to achieve that, so that we can end up with genuine reconciliation?
