Afghan PM Rejects Long-Term Occupation

HeadlineSep 12, 2008

The Azizabad bombing has inflamed public uproar over US air strikes in Afghanistan. On Thursday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he opposed the long-term occupation of foreign troops.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai: “Obviously, the international community are not here for a long time, and it is not good for us if they stay here for a long time. We are a country with a history of several thousand years, and we are proud of our history and our brave nation. We should not rely on foreigner forces for our security for a long time.”
