Karzai government is unable to deliver basic services

By Hanan Habibzai 
Hamid Karzai's government is unable to deliver basic services ,such as security,food and shelters. Intangibility is growing by every day and Widespread concerns increasingly reflect hopelessness and shed nervousness for public safety.
Increasing corruption in Afghanistan is contribuitng to increased porverty and a serious neglect of human rights in the country. 
The majority of Afghans live in poverty despite the fact that some $35bn (£23bn) of aid was poured into the country between 2002 and 2009.
The world community is focusing too much on military efforts and too little on long-term development. The office of the UN human rights commissioner highlighted the concerns in its report March this year.
widespread corruption further limits access to services for a large proportion of the population.blaming Afghan officials of advancing their own interests at the expense of the general public. Farther more Afghan population remained careless.
The United nation reported  that Afghanistan is still suffering the second highest maternal mortality rate in the world and the third highest rate of child mortality.
Only 23% of the population have access to safe drinking water and only 24% above the age of 15 can read and write.
 '' And basically the main conclusion is that the abuse of power is the key driver of poverty in Afghanistan, vested interests frequently shape the public agenda whether in relations to law, policy or the allocation of resources" A top UN official said.
 In Afghanistan ,the law and order is severely abused by key officials, judicial system is deeply soiled in corruption and the criminal law is only practicable against poor people who don't have a connection with key officials either unable to pay huge bribes.Afghanistan is dominated by widespread injustice and human rights abuses.

Afghanistan: “It’s Just Damage Limitation Now”

By Mark Thompson Source:  time.com   Briton Ben Anderson is a documentary filmmaker (the BBC, HBO, the Discovery Channel), but he turns to the written word in No Worse Enemy : The Inside Story of the Chaotic Struggle for Afghanistan . The book offers a gritty – and grim — assessment of the war. Anderson embedded with U.S. and British troops for months in the southern part of the country from 2007 to 2011. He details corruption, incompetence, fear — by both allied troops and Afghan civilians — and a Groundhog Day kind of existence., where a battle fought for days has to be fought again, later. Most distressingly, he argues that the American and British publics are getting a misleading picture of progress on the ground. Battleland conducted this email chat with Anderson last weekend. Why did you write No Worse Enemy: The Inside Story of the Chaotic Struggle for Afghanistan? I’d been travelling to Helmand for five years, first in 2007 with the Brits, t...

Afghan activists:Afghan Civilians Intentionally Targeted by NATO/ISAF Forces

This article has been signed by several Afghan anti-war organisations and human rights activists based in Europe,America and Canada. Afghans for Peace,Afghan Youth ,Peace Volunteers,Afghan Canadian Student Association,Afghan Perspectives. Careful examination of numerous reports, and images/video footage, along with eye-witness and victim testimonies, clarify that Afghan civilians are the main targets of deadly attacks by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Although the Coalition forces claim that previous civilian massacres were accidental, Afghan-led peace movements believe that the killings are at best negligent to at worst intentional in nature. Foreign military presence and intervention in the past ten years has worsened the Afghanistan situation while civilian casualties have increasingly created tension between the Coaliton forces, the Afghan government, and the people of Afghanistan. These events have further...

Afghanistan's agriculture system has been destroyed during the war and destruction and most of the farmers don't have access to the farming stuff and enough water.
