ABOUT US!

Dear followers, we’re a group of four girls who would like to inform you about Afghanistan’s situation. Of course, the main topic of our blog will be the Canadians’ involvement in this country in need. We are for the involvement of our soldiers there because we think that their work in this devastated country is a necessity and we are proud of them and what they’re doing there. We’re doing this blog because we want you guys to know a little more about Afghans’ situation and what’s going on there. This project started by the reading of ̋A Thousand Splendid Suns ˝ which is written by Khaled Hosseini. This book made us realised how bad is the situation in Afghanistan. So, those are the reasons why we’d like to share our knowledge with you. We actually think that you’re misinformed and that you should read our blog to learn more.

Why Canada's in Afghanistan?

A lot of people think that the Canada is involved in Afghanistan only because the United States are there too. Actually, the Canada is there to help to population. The Canadian soldiers have six priorities and three major projects. Indeed, they want to make sure that, when they will return in Canada, the population will be protected from the Taliban. Also, they are there to provide the basic services like education, health, roads and potable water. Actually, their three projects are in link with the basic services. The reparation of the Dahla Dam, the construction of 50 schools and the polio eradication are the three projects. Moreover, they want the government to be able to assist the vulnerable people. They are also trying to facilitate the dialogue between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Also, the Canadian soldiers want to establish a democratic system without any corruptions. Finally, their sixth priority is to help the population to reconcialiate with each other because there are a lot of discrimination about the people’s origine. So, we think that Canadian soldiers have good reasons to be in Afghanistan.
