U.N. Deputy Special Representative, Christopher Alexander, says , 'insurgency and insecurity continue to plague Afghanistan.'
He expressed this view in a lecture titled "Afghanistan: The Current Situation."
Alexander said that the international community must first understand the roots of the insurgency before it can effectively stabilize the nation.
Alexander said. "Key factors driving this insurgency have not been addressed."
Alexander added that the main challenge for the United Nations is to continue supporting institutions that are "credible," which he defined as agencies with strong leadership providing positive services to the population.
