51% of Afghans feeling good about country's direction: poll


Tuesday, October 18, 2007


A new poll of nearly 1,600 Afghans shows the majority feel safer than they did five years ago, and approve of the direction their country is taking, thanks to the presence of international security forces from countries such as Canada.

Results from the Environics Research poll, conducted in partnership with the CBC, shows 60 per cent of Afghans surveyed believed the presence of the foreign troops has been good for their country. As well, they said they feel their country is headed in the right direction, compared to 28 percent who responded that it’s headed in the wrong direction.

They also said their lives are better than they were five years ago. Citing increased security, as well as better roads and school were built. Some of those who feel they are worse off say they don’t feel safe in the face of continuing violence.

Sending troops is not treating their country, and it is helping their country. Some of the Korean army sent to Afghans to help them to lead right way. My country Korea was same situation in the 1950’s by American help. By U.N., and U.S. helps, we can develop our country. I think Afghans had hard time, and a lot of bad things happen in the Afghans last 5 years, but the country is leading right way for Afghans.
