Karzai got a second term in office with allegedly fraudulent elections. But will he be able to address the most important issue of corruption in the country? Almost eight in ten Afghans feel that there is widespread corruption in the government, which the government is not doing enough to curb. Karzai’s precarious position is backed by multifarious ethnic groups, erratic political parties, and several foreign actors. The crux of the matter lies in Karzai’s inability to follow stringent policy against corrupt officers in public offices.
People in America and west Europe feel that Taliban are on the rise in Afghanistan and Pakistan. However the occidents are still somewhat supportive of troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Does it mean that the morale of the western nations is down? The inclination towards troop withdrawal raises a lot of questions. Repeating the mistake of leaving Afghanistan, as they did after the Soviet withdrawal, will have a grave impact on the status of America, the stability of the world in general and the region in particular .
Climate change has been on the minds of people for a long time. On the eve of President Obama’s meeting with his Chinese counterpart to discuss the issue of climate change along with various other issues, the polls showed that public around the world is not satisfied with the efforts made by these two countries to deal with climatic concerns. Today public awareness about climate change is far higher than at any comparative point in history; will public concerns be able to achieve anything out of this meeting?
