POOR SECURITY \'HAMPERING AFGHAN AID\'

Published in News Digest

By empty (2/10/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)

A British parliamentary report on international aid to Afghanistan says the lack of security there is hampering distribution of aid as well as efforts to rebuild the country. The report accuses the international community of lacking the will to create a more secure environment. It says it was an error not to extend the international peace-keeping force outside the capital, Kabul.

The report accuses the international community of lacking the will to create a more secure environment. It says it was an error not to extend the international peace-keeping force outside the capital, Kabul. Not enough money has been pledged for reconstruction, it adds. The report, by the cross-party parliamentary committee for international development, criticizes the United Nations mission in Afghanistan for not co-ordinating the work of the different UN agencies there. It says that channeling more resources through Afghanistan\'s transitional government would give it more credibility with ordinary people. (BBC)
