- Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles: a casualty of Afghan policy war | Simon Tisdall
The British special envoy's scepticism about the US-led surge meant he had to go. Being proved right will be cold comfortThe sudden departure of Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, Britain's special envoy to Afghanistan, represents another body blow for a US-led policy that is already shredding at the edges.Cowper-Coles brought a wealth of experience and hardheaded pragmatism to a problem – the Afghan intervention begun in 2001 – bedevilled by fond hopes, misperceptions and sheer ignorance. The former UK ambassador was also unafraid to speak his mind, even when that meant potentially upsetting the grand panjandrums of the Pentagon and their equally self-regarding political masters at the White House.Cowper-Coles made no secret of his doubts about US strategy in private discussions during a recent meeting in London. The Afghan war lacked a military solution, he said, and the sooner this fact was faced, and new emphasis placed on a diplomatic approach, the better for all concerned.This strongly-held opinion, of which the Americans could not fail to be aware, was exactly what Barack Obama and General Stanley McChrystal, Nato's commander, did not want to hear. After a lengthy policy review last year, in which Britain was barely consulted, Obama decided to send a surge of 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan and escalate the war, principally in the southern Taliban strongholds. McChrystal was given the job of reducing the Taliban militarily to the point at which they would effectively sue for peace at almost any price.Any encouragement offered to the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, who increasingly favours a broad dialogue with the Taliban, was therefore viewed by the US as premature, if not extremely unhelpful. The recent Obama-Karzai meeting in Washington brought only a very limited e 米国主導の急増については、英国の特使の懐疑は、彼が行かなければならなかったことを意味

The three news organisations were given access to the Afghan war logs before publication to verify their authenticity and assess their significance. For the past few weeks, a team of investigative reporters, regional specialists and database experts has been working on the story.

- Sangin: the most dangerous place in Afghanistan for Nato soldiers
Of the 300 British soldiers who have died in Afghanistan since 2001, 96 of them have been in SanginOf the 300 British soldiers who have died in Afghanistan since 2001, 96 of them have been in Sangin, the most dangerous place in the country for Nato soldiers.Four years after UK troops deployed there the Taliban continue to aggressively contest control of the Helmand town which has become infamous for the vast number of improvised explosive devices used by insurgents that have been responsible for most British deaths.Firefights with insurgents are also common and at least 16 British troops have died after being shot in the Sangin area.The town is also responsible for more than 10% of daily causalities of the entire Nato mission with Taliban.Sangin has a long history of being troublesome for foreign troops. It was the scene of the first major military engagement in the south of the country during the second Anglo-Afghan war of 1878, where the British fought a cavalry battle against 1,500 enemy fighters.But today it is the drugs trade and tribal politics that have helped to make it a particularly lethal place to operate.The town is close to tracts of well-irrigated land for growing poppies and its proximity to the country's main highway makes it an important smuggling centre for opium and other goods.Analysts and diplomats familiar with the area say the high level of violence is in part due to drug smugglers keen to maintain a level of mayhem that allows their trade to flourish.Weak and corrupt local government – a nationwide problem – also plays its part in fuelling local support for insurgents.That is further complicated by infighting between communities, a problem largely made possible by the decline of the old tribal system that was greatly damaged by factional fighting アフガニスタンで2001年以来、死亡している300英国の兵士、96人のSanginOfで仁、NATOの兵士のための国の中で最も危険な場所にされているアフガニスタンで2001年以来、死亡している300英国の兵士を、96人となっている4年後の英国軍がタリバン悪名高い膨大な数のためになっているヘルマンド町の積極的なコンテストのコントロールにも共通です爆発装置を抵抗勢力で最もイギリスdeaths.Firefightsを担当している武装勢力によって使用される即。継続展開16少なくともイギリス軍は、仁の貼ら町で撮影された後に死亡してもTaliban.Sangin全体NATOの任務の毎日死傷者の10％以上の責任は、外国軍隊のための面倒さの長い歴史があります
- The EU must help Pakistan | Wajid Shamsul Hasan
Pakistan is making great sacrifices to fight terrorism, but our largest trading partner doesn't allow us fair access to its marketsAfter almost a decade of military rule, my country, Pakistan, returned to democracy two years ago. These two years have been momentous. Pakistan now stands on high moral ground, with a democratic government, an independent judiciary and a free media. Yet it finds itself still in a state of war.We have entered our 31st year of war: first against Soviet expansionism and then the ugly legacy of terrorism after 9/11. Due to its strategic location, Pakistan was drawn into a second conflict, more horrendous than the first. By choice or necessity, the battle is now very much our own.Though riding the momentum of successful elections, the government is stretching itself thin to eradicate extremism and terrorism in the region. As a result, we are faced with severe challenges, given the heavy losses of life, destruction of infrastructure, and adverse international perception of Pakistan as a place to do business.Fighting this war may have been necessary, but it has also proved very expensive: the west has much more to do to support Pakistan's nascent democracy in delivering its election promises of employment, health and education.During the current fiscal year, our development budget has been slashed by a third, as we have had to divert funds to shore up our security-related expenditure on the western and eastern frontiers. Pakistan's plummeting economy, the fragility of its democratic institutions, and the difficulties of the civilian administration in re-establishing normal government functions in cleared-up areas like Swat, need the attention of its western allies. While we are still living with the consequences of the Soviet-Afghan war of 30 year パキスタンテロと戦うためには多大な犠牲ことが当社の最大の貿易パートナーはmarketsAfterに私たちの公平なアクセス軍事政権の支配のほぼ10年間を許可しない場合は、私の国、パキスタン、民主主義への2年前に戻った
