IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...
Where the ghosts simply refuse to die!
That’s the theory. The practice looks like this. Seven armored U.S. Humvees form a 'perimeter' on the edge of the village and newly trained Afghan police – the 'Afghan face' on this mission – are dispatched to bring out village elders. Looking apprehensive, the Afghans appear swathed in robes and headgear whose bold colours mock dreary U.S. Army camouflage. Staff Sgt. Marco Villalta, of San Mateo, Calif., steps forward: “We would like to ask you some questions about your village.”
The following is elicited: There are 300 families using 25 wells. Their irrigation ditches get washed away in winter. A small bridge keeps collapsing. They send their children to a school in nearby Shajoy, but it’s often closed because of Taliban threats to teachers. Villalta takes notes. “We’ll share this information with the governor and make sure that something is done. “No! No!” says Sardar Mohammed, stepping forward. “We don’t trust the governor. If he gets food, he gives it to 10 families. He puts money in his pocket. We trust you more than him. Bring aid directly to us.” Bramble’s view is that the governor is as good as officials get around here. The US officer, like his country and NATO, is caught in the hall of mirrors of contested nation-building. Still, he thinks this first contact will lead to others and perhaps he can arrange for the bridge soon.
This process will be very slow. The West’s stomach for investing blood and treasure here for another decade is unclear. But I see no alternative if Afghanistan is to move from its destructive gyre and the global threat that brings. The children’s smiles suggest that hope still flickers. To lose Afghanistan by way of smile-free Iraq – and do so on the border of a turbulent nuclear-armed Pakistan – would be a terrible betrayal and an unacceptable risk. That, alas, is no fairy tale.
