Absolutely, we've had this debate. The NGO I'm representing as vice-president has done work in Afghanistan during the Taliban's time from Pakistan and Jalalabad. And now they are in Jalalabad, Kandahar, and Herat. So in several regions of Afghanistan, in the Canadian area and two other areas, the experience.... They are doing a lot of work, giving especially young women the possibility of professional training to enable them to look after themselves, and doing some other work on children's aid issues, including basic medical treatment.
We have good experiences in cooperation, but it's necessary.... In Kunduz, we had one situation where it was said that anybody would be executed for the sexual harassment of a young Afghan lady, and so the easiest people to react against were the representatives of the NGOs there. But it worked out well, because the people informed the PRT very early of the threat, which did not react militarily by shooting around, but tried to talk with the imam in the region, and they worked together.
They also managed the situation when the Danish and Norwegian flags was burned when the cartoon issue ran. We have the Norwegians with us in the region.
