Afghanistan has problems with illegal weapons by Nina Gotzmannova

Afghanistan, six years after the intervention of United States after the attacks on WTC in 2001 and one of the countries most affected by the anti-terrorism war, is still struggling with lot of problems. One of them is the amount of illegal weapons into the country. The last known incident with guns happened last month. A convoy full of arms was stopped in the western part of the country. According to NATO-led troops this convoy came from Iran and brought into the country advanced technology improvised explosive devices. Another thing that is missing in Afghanistan is discipline. There are lots of trouble with security, development, government, guns and of course rebels from Taliban. They still cause trouble and the shipment with arms was probably assigned for them. The most affected part of Afghanistan by Taliban is Kandahar. Reputedly the situation is better now and the province is safer than ever, but the truth may be different. When U. S. troop's officials declared that, Taliban had increased the number of suicide and bomb attacks to deny that. Fortunately the Afghan government is not moping and waiting for Taliban to kill everyone in the country. They invited them into the political arena. To fight violently is not the best way how to achieve the goals Taliban has set and the innocent civilians are suffering. Afghan president also wants to talk with the Taliban leader face-to-face if necessary. The only problem is that Taliban contains from too many small fractions and if the leader will say something, there is no guarantee all the fractions and group around the country will follow him.
