Excellent article! I received a clear idea on what is going on with the Afghan Police . I really wish that the so pessimistic conclusions of the article are not … too pessimistic!

The self consciousness of the citizens is growing up day by day, thus making difficult certain negative episodes to happen. It is vital, therefore, that the int. community effort are continuing to be funded, even considering the additional sacrifice for the various national economies, in this very particular moment of crisis.
