Dutch Government collapses over Afghanistan issue

<object width="500" height="315">





The government of Netherlands was a coalition of two major political parties of the nation. Besides being a coalition government the two parties have differences over major issues including foreign military and diplomatic issues in regards to Afghanistan.


In 2007, the Dutch Labor party pressed a move to bring back the entire dutch military personnel deployed to Afghanistan. However, after a long debate, the dutch military mission was extended to August 2010.

After a long discussion, debate and arguments, the Dutch Labor party ignored the severity of the present insurgency in Afghanistan; as well as the call of NATO for the extension of return date to an additional one more year and decided to exit from the coalition government.

It is very unfortunate for the whole effort going on in Afghanistan. In contrast to the necessity, nothing has been done so far in the ground. Afghanistan needs more expertise and training in every field of their security measures. 
If the patron of pulling out troops continues, Afghanistan will be in the verge of collapse itself. 

This will severely jeopardize the training process of Afghan police forces and military personnel which planned and performed by the Dutch Army experts
