Poll: Germans Against Afghanistan Efforts
A poll conducted in Germany shows 57 percent of respondents favor ending their nation's military efforts in Afghanistan.
While 36 percent of respondents from the European nation offered their support to their nation's reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, more than half used to poll to suggest Germany should pull out all of its troops from the war-torn area, Deutsche Welle reported.
The TNS institute poll, commissioned by the magazine Der Spiegel, comes a month before Germany is to increase its efforts in Afghanistan with a technological surveillance mission.
The public opposition comes despite the fact that the nearly 3,000 German troops are stationed in peaceful areas of Afghanistan and are not allowed to militarily support NATO forces.
Meanwhile, other NATO members have continued to pressure Germany into increasing its military presence in Afghanistan.
