David Miliband Pushes for Economic and Social Support Directly to Afghans

EXCERPT:

MILIBAND: “Look, 20 years of war didn't put pressure on the governing authorities. You know the old cliché the Taliban used to say, you've got watches, we've got time. And I think it's very important to say that the fundamental pressure comes from the Afghan people themselves. They're the ones who count. And our argument for engagement is about engagement with the people. Don't abandon the people.”
