Radio Netherlands January 27, 2010 NGOs slam “militarised aid” in Afghanistan Aid agencies have warned against the “militarisation of aid” in Afghanistan. The warning comes a day before the Afghanistan summit opens in London. In a joint report eight NGOs, including Oxfam and Care, claim militarised aid usually takes only a short-term approach. They argue that the military should concentrate on improving security, leaving reconstruction to local authorities and aid organisations. The Afghanistan conference will be attended by heads of state and ministers from 70 countries. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ==============================
