Achieving Durable Peace Afghan Perspectives on a Peace Process

Momentum continues to shift among international and Afghan actors towards a peace process in Afghanistan. However, ambiguities and uncertainty remain in the US political and military strategy, neither the ability of the Afghan government to successfully lead a peace process nor the insurgents' interest in one is certain, and the regional context remains challenging after the death of Osama Bin Laden. An expanding body of commentary focuses on international and US strategy but is less often coupled with detailed examination of the views of Afghan stakeholders.




Hamish Nixon presents findings from a large set of interviews with Afghan leaders and opinion-formers about their views on the conflict and the issues that a peace process will have to address. The interviews were conducted in the context of an ongoing project by the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) to identify and clarify through research and dialogue issues and options to help Afghanistan to move towards durable peace. After the presentation there will be discussion of implications for the design and structure of a potential Afghan peace process.

Astri Suhrke is the last presenter on this panel. Please listen to her comments and my comments will make sense ---

You (Astri Suhrke) are a failure and a disgrace to descent human beings everywhere, you should be ashamed of yourself. You (Astri) have no place to be talking about Afghanistan.

The reason that Afghanistan is so F*cked up right now is because 90% of those western aid workers used to work in Africa and now work in Afghanistan. These crooked aid workers have looted Africa.
