Do Afghans really want us there?

Published on March 3, 2006 By Evorg In Current Events

From a survey conducted by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) in Afghanistan. Released on 11 Jan 2006.

The poll, conducted across ethnic groups including Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbek and Hazara communities, found large support for the US military presence in Afghanistan. Eighty-three percent said they have a favorable view of “the US military forces in our country” (39% very favorable). Just 17% have an unfavorable view.

The main factors from the poll:

Afghan Public Overwhelmingly Rejects al-Qaeda, Taliban

Strongly Supports US and International Presence

Believes Pakistan Is Allowing Taliban to Operate There
