România și-a încheiat misiunea în Afganistan, moment marcat de o ceremonie militară care a avut loc miercuri la București, iar SUA se pregătesc să își încheie la rândul lor retragerea până la finalul lunii august, asemenea tuturor aliaților. În urmă rămâne o țară cu instituții slabe și corupție generalizată, în care talibanii sunt la un pas de a prelua din nou controlul, iar organizațiile teroriste par să aibă iarăși un spațiu de refugiu, pentru a-și planifica atacurile, scriu CBC News și The Guardian.
O să deschid o temă delicată care la noi e trecută în tăcere. Ca și cum nu ar exista. O fac pentru că fratele meu a fost rănit în Afganistan, în alt război, care, prin absurdul lui, a fost parte a căderii Uniunii Sovietice.

To build on its commendable counterterrorism progress, Tunisia needs to elevate its prevention efforts and strengthen oversight mechanisms to prevent abuses by its security forces.
Strategic enhancements in Tunisia’s security apparatus have yielded notable progress in dismantling terrorist cells, tightening control over the country’s porous borders, degrading the capabilities of violent extremist groups affiliated with al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Islamic State (ISIS), and countering terrorist financing. The latter improvement was rewarded in October 2019 when the Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental organization established by the G7 countries to protect against money laundering and terrorist financing, removed Tunisia from its blacklist. In addition to reducing the number of terrorist incidents, these reforms have contributed to a notable improvement in the overall security situation in Tunisia.
