AsiaNews: “We have lifted the Afghan people out of the darkness of despair and given them hope for the future,” said yesterday General John Campbell, current commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), as he announced the end of 13 years of combat operations in Afghanistan.
Speaking to AsiaNews, a local source, anonymous for security reasons, said that such an account does not correspond to reality at all. “For some, Afghanistan is still hell,” he said.
However, “It would be unfair to say that nothing has been done in all these years,” he added, but what was done “is certainly very little.” More news here.
