Afghan police
'nearly as unpopular as Taliban in south' | World news | The Guardian: "Afghanistan's police force is only slightly more popular than the Taliban in the insurgent heartlands of the south, according to a survey commissioned by the UN.The results of the poll, published today, portrayed a police force widely viewed by Afghans as corrupt and biased, underscoring doubts about a planned Nato handover. About half the 5,052 Afghans surveyed across all 34 provinces said they would report crime elsewhere.
The findings represent a blow to western efforts to extend the reach of the central government and its security forces to areas under the sway of the Taliban, particularly in the south, which has borne the brunt of Nato and US military operations to drive back insurgents."
