I'll try to brief.
I agree with all my friend, Ariane, has mentioned, and I have also given my recommendations to the members of Parliament. If they haven't received them so far, they will receive them in the mail.
I truly believe that one of the reasons for insecurity in Afghanistan is the poverty and unemployment. Especially if the youth are unemployed, it is very easy for the Taliban to recruit them for economic benefits or whatever. Another reason is the major displacement of the Afghans. Recently 10,000 Afghans were displaced as a result of the war, and there is no adequate compensation or assistance available. Some of them go back to Pakistan, where they can be recruited by the Taliban.
To fight the Taliban is not just to target them in Afghanistan; they have to be targeted at the source, the roots, where they get their training before they come here, which is mostly outside the Afghan border. It doesn't help; they come and go.
There's another reason for insecurity. I know insecurity, poverty, crime, and drug deals go hand in hand. We have to tackle the drug problem in Afghanistan. Recently it has increased to seven times more than it was in 2001, so this is a big issue that the international community has to tackle.
Also, I do believe in the empowerment of women. Women constitute more than half of the Afghan population. When I mentioned the strong women, I mentioned Malalai of Maiwand, who was in the war against the British, and all the great women we had. We still have such women in Afghanistan. Half of the Afghan population--who are women--are paralyzed. They have to also be encouraged and empowered, and assistance should be available--training, jobs--to tackle the poverty.
