Nation-building has never been an easy endeavour and Afghanistan is no exception.
After almost three decades of traumatic existence, Afghanistan has achieved a fragile stability in the past four years. Failing to address the country's challenges in a timely manner will undermine the post-Taliban political gains and jeopardize that stability. |

| THE HAGUE - 12 January 2006 (Original article from De Volkskrant |
Omar Samad, Afghanistans ambassador to Canada, is surprised. As part of an international academic group he arrived in The Hague last week to learn from D66-politician Lousewies van der Laan that the Netherlands should not participate in the expansion of the NATO-led operation to Southern Afghanistan. [Editorial background note: Ms. Van der Laan is a member of the small liberal party D66 which opposes the deployment of Dutch troops to Southern province of Uruzgan in Afghanistan; D66 is part of the ruling coalition in the Netherlands with the Conservatives and the Christian Democrats; The Dutch cabinet, in which two posts are held by D66, decided in December that it will send the troops if Parliament agrees; A final decision is expected early February]
