According to the UN the last six months in Afghanistan have been the most deadly since records began in 2001. Is it now time to end the war in Afghanistan?
Patrick Bury is a former Captain in the Royal Irish Regiment who served in Sangin, Afghanistan; a memoir of his experiences, ‘Callsign Hades’, described as ‘the first great book of the Afghan war’, is out now
According to the UN the last six months in Afghanistan have been the most deadly since records began in 2001. Deaths in May were the highest recorded in a single month ever.
With the surge obviously failing statistically, Tory MP Rory Stewart outlines his vision for the future of Afghanistan, in this excellent new video:
Rory may not be a regular face on Left Foot Forward, but his views on Afghanistan are well informed, progressive and, most importantly, realistic.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

Finally, I’m so bored of reading different articles again and again about ‘The defining year in Afghanistan’. NATO has only put more targets on the ground by increasing troop levels, they need to maintain a logistical and auxiliary role in training government forces and educating the population in how to maintain themselves. My only concern with a full withdrawal is the morale and PR victory it would give militant extremists in the region.
