Brussels: Rebuilding Afghanistan

Written by Super User 19 May 2010

A senior European commission official told a Brussels conference on Wednesday that Afghan’s drug dependency will make reconstruction of the war-torn country very difficult. One of the things Afghanistan needs is long-term development of its civil service so that Afghans themselves can take over control of future events. The aim has to be to allow the Afghan economy to become free of its dependency on drugs which continue to be the main source of illegal revenue in the country.There are 30,000 European troops in Afghanistan aiding the US-led war. Meanwhile, French president Nicolas Sarkozy said he will stay in Afghanistan because it is a fight against terrorists and he does not want the Taliban to make a martyr out of Afghanistan nor allow Pakistan with its nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of terrorists.

Pray: for God to give His strategy to the leaders attempting to free the region of death, deception and disorder. (Is.61:1)
