Afghanistan: Ensuring Success

KABUL and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Afghanistan faces a dangerous and challenging time. The Afghan people
long for security, economic empowerment and political stability. While these
goals seemed within reach in the years immediately after the fall of the
Taliban, the progress made is threatened today. Some voices around the world

state, that we are not ready to pursue a democratic order, or that we are not
prepared to join the modern world. We reject these fallacies, but they are a
clear sign that the world is beginning to lose patience with Afghans. The
situation is serious — and we Afghans must acknowledge our shortcomings,
seek to learn lessons, and respond promptly and appropriately.
