Afghanistan: A Comprehensive Approach to Current Challenges
Oct 2006, Vol. 151, No. 5
By Des Browne
The United Kingdom's first priority in Afghanistan is to create security. This needs to be followed straight away, with progress on reconstruction, to consolidate the security created. In addition, people must be reassured that there is a real future for Afghanistan. This requires the application of a comprehensive approach, that is, the inter-weaving of different elements – security, reconstruction, law and order, and governance – reinforcing each other ‘like the strands of a rope’.
The Rt Hon Des Browne is Secretary of State for Defence. This article is drawn from his address to RUSI on 19 September 2006.
