Quality of Life

[CENTCOM]

​

As we look back at the past twelve years, we realize that on the whole, we have achieved a great deal in the cause of peace, security and development in Afghanistan. This was largely possible because the Afghans themselves had the will to help themselves. As a part of these efforts, to have Afghans talk to Afghans, we have even supported the Afghan initiative of talks between them and some reconcilable Taliban leaders to get them to lay down arms and accept the Afghan constitution. It would be extremely naïve to compare Afghanistan to developed nations. It is more important to measure progress and compare living standards, and the quality of life of today to that during the Taliban regime. This comparison is a true measure of just how far how much progress the country has made in a short period of time.

Quality of life Measurements: One can always look at the glass half empty however, these gains cannot be overlooked.

Average yearly per capita income of an Afghan has risen from $180 to $600.

Over 5 million refugees who had fled the country due to Taliban have returned and are part of the political process.

Afghanistan held successful Presidential and Parliamentary elections, and are preparing for one next year.
Women have a voice in the political sphere and have acquired 27% of the seats in the lower and upper houses of parliament.

Free press is flourishing and more than 16 private TV stations, 90 ‎‎ ‎radio stations and 600 publications have been launched in the past 12 years.

At least 90 judicial centers have been built or rehabilitated, and almost 900‎‎ ‎judges have been trained.

In 2000 only 19% of school aged children were enrolled in primary education, in 2011 over 98% are enrolled. There are 10.5 million students that are studying in 16,000 schools across the country.

Many comparative statistics about different aspects of life in Afghanistan is available through organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank and the IMF. We hope that going forward we will witness an Afghanistan that would uphold the gains and work towards more and more prosperity.

well the truth is that the usa should never have invaded afghanistan to begin with, the best thing to do was to setup a covert unit of navy seals in afghanistan and hunt for bin laden, all this other stuff is such a waste of lives, money and resources.
afghanistan was going to develop no matter what it had nothing to do with usa being their, the talibans had a new government and im pretty sure they would have introduced reforms over time, i mean the amount of time the usa been afghanistan and the amount of development that occurred is nothing, that much development would have occurred regardless. don't forget that country had just been out of a civil for around 5 years before you guys made this dumb move of invading.

and now when you guys leave they will be fighting another civil war and its going to drag pakistan into it as well. since little people like me can't get my word get my word to obama you should tell him that don't go to syria and not to support freaking al qaeda. also tell him stop trying to take away our second amendment rights away.
