There is no better indicator of the security situation than the ability of NGOs to operate and bring reconstruction, aid, medicine and others necessities. The security situation is spiraling back to the days of the Taliban, says one important organization.
“There has been a surge in the number of civilian casualties caused by all sides, a spread of insecurity to previously stable areas, and increasing attacks on aid agencies and their staff,” the statement from their umbrella organisation Acbar said.

My Comment: The big news this weekend was India agreeing to a huge aid package with Afghanistan. This is a stick in the eye of Pakistan, a country that has not provided aid to Afghanistan.
While Pakistan can claim that they are helping the Afghan people by fighting an insurgency war with the Taliban, the sad fact is that there are many elements in the Pakistani military and intelligence services that are actually aiding the Taliban.
