Kabul, Nov 13 (ANI): Ten years after the Taliban was driven out of Kabul, there have been big improvements in the war-torn country, a NATO official has calimed.
According to Simon Gass, NATO's Ambassador to Afghanistan, city has changed beyond recognition.
"When you walk around in Kabul, this is now a bustling lively city with women on the streets, people able to go to hospitals, schools open where girls can go to as well as boys and it feels very very different to how it did 10 years ago," the BBC quoted Gass, as saying.
Grass, however, admitted that many things have not been done.
Many critics believe the Taliban can still bring death into the capital. Some are anxious about the coming withdrawal of foreign combat forces.
According to the report, a decade after the liberation of Kabul by the Northern Alliance, the city is growing fast, but it still has the architecture of war, checkpoints, blast walls and heavily fortified buildings.
A city of bicycles has become a city of jeeps and traffic jams, a monument to commerce and to corruption.
Ten years have passed, but the city is still waiting for peace. (ANI)
