One of two ‘Taliban-held’ Afghan districts freed
Afghan and coalition forces fought heavy battles to retake two districts in southern
Afghanistan captured by Taliban militants, expelling the rebels from one by evening, officials said.
The events in the past days showed that things are changing very rapidly on the ground. Taliban militants seized control of two towns in southern part of the country and according to the latest news, Afghan and coalition forces took control of only one town after very heavy fighting. The recent developments are a source of headache and concern for all the parties involved in Afghanistan including the U.S. and the NATO. Today the NATO officials are visiting Kabul to discuss their strategy in coming weeks and months.
If the western countries are really committed to tackle the issue of Taliban, then they should increase the number of their forces in the southern part of the country, asks Pakistan to stop giving shelter and support to Taliban and increase the amount of aid to speed up the reconstruction pace to improve the socio-economic conditions of common Afghans.
The capture of two towns should be an eye opener for those forces who wants to keep Taliban at bay in Afghanistan. They have still time and resources to win not only this war but also the hearts and souls of Afghans.

In my idea the current situation in Afghanistan is due to lake of a strong leadershiop. In the past almost five years of Karzi’s presedency nothing has changed. Afghan is still in a position where it was five years ago and the question raises is that where those all aids ” billions of dollars ” disappeared. Only Mr Karzi himself knows about this big secret. The security in the past five years which is in a critical stage now has been controlled by foreigners which can’t be a credit to Karzi’s government. Corruption,crime,and unsafty are in thier highest level and can someone ask Karzi what the hell he is doing to stop them and to bring peace and stibality in the country. How long should we depend on foreign aid and their forces.
