"Historically, Afghanistan is a country in which violence and instability have been ever present. The fall of the pro-Soviet Najibullah regime at the hands of Islamist guerrillas and the brutality of the Taliban regime that followed mired the country in a conflict from which it seems incapable of freeing itself, despite the efforts of the international community – the United States in particular – to that end.
The news reaching us on the progress in the struggle against terrorism and on the capacity of the Karzai government to ensure security, freedom and the rule of law in Afghan territory is not the most encouraging. Abandoning Afghanistan to its fate jeopardises the security, not just of its neighbouring states, but also of a significant proportion of the international community. I believe that the European Union should seek to help Afghanistan in whatever ways it considers appropriate, should do so in such a way that assistance reaches those that need it most, and should have full access to the information of the international bodies through which it channels part of said assistance."@en1
