Before responding to your question, there's just one point that I have to add, because I forgot to earlier.
When we are talking about security in Afghanistan, the Taliban are the biggest and most major threat to Afghanistan, but we cannot ignore the other warlords. We never talk about them. Mr. Karzai, in one of his speeches last year I think, mentioned that there are bigger dangers to Afghan society, sometimes even bigger than the Taliban. If we ignore them, there won't be peace. Of course, I reinforce and repeat myself again that the sources of Taliban that are outside of the borders have to be targeted.
In terms of the police and army, the national army, which is in the process of establishing itself and recruiting more members, is very much welcomed by the Afghan people. It's a good army. In terms of police forces, some of the policemen are former militia who have been recruited in the police. Sometimes these forces cause insecurity for the public and for the people.
I was in Afghanistan last year. One of my colleagues, an Afghan woman, was a very strong woman. She has worked there throughout. She doesn't cover herself. She doesn't wear a chowdry, but when she was going home, she had a chowdry in her bag. She said she was wearing the chowdry when she went there because her house is opposite the police office. I said that's secure, that's good. She said no, she was scared of the policemen, because if they saw her face, anything could happen. She secured herself from the police.
Some of the people have stopped looking to the police for their security and safety. They're scared of the police because of the individuals they have recruited. I think it should be ensured that the individuals are not members of former militias, whatever group they were in. And they also need adequate, ongoing training and financial assistance committed to them.
