Corruption is one of the key elements of bringing down a government and paving ground for anarchy, irresponsibility, lawlessness in a country. Afghanistan, for example, is one of those countries in the world faced with corruption where the people do not trust the government and lost their confidence as the high ranking officials in the government themselves are involved in corruption and are warlords.
The government of Afghanistan has several times announced to take serious action against those involved in corruption whoever they are whether senior or junior, but with passing the time the slogans of annihilating corruption not only faded but got stronger than ever before.
The United Kingdom and the United States both have recently put a lot of stress on newly re-elected president Hamid Karzai to take serious action against corruption in his government and do not let corrupted figures and warlords in his government, otherwise, they will stop their support, but as it looks the second top person in his government is a famous warlord.
To show and deceive the world once again that the government of Afghanistan is serious in its campaign against corruption, the attorney general in Afghanistan has raised his voice and named several of the ex-ministers, deputy ministers and municipals involved in corruption and embezzlement.
I believe such kind of announcement by Afghan Attorney General will deceive the world to get their support back, so those countries supporting Afghanistan and sending their troops to restore peace and security there should put into abeyance all kinds of their assistance to Afghanistan till Afghan government is really honest in its campaign against corruption.
