阿富汗戰爭十週年 當地民衆感到失望

Afghans are expressing a mixture of disappointment and uncertainty about their future, as they mark the anniversary of the start of the Afghan war.

在阿富汗戰爭十週年之際，阿富汗人對他們的未來感到失望和不確定。

The United States launched its military campaign in Afghanistan, shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The mission, hunt down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and topple the Taliban-led government.

美國在2001年9月11日遭受恐怖襲擊後不久在阿富汗發起軍事行動，主要任務是追捕基地組織領導人本·拉登和推翻塔利班領導的政府。

While the Taliban were ousted from power, 10 years later, many Afghans still feel let down by the international effort to rid their country of the Taliban and normalize its institutions.

雖然塔利班已被趕下臺，但10年後的今天，許多阿富汗人依然對消除塔利班和恢復社會秩序的國際努力感到失望。

Sitfatullah Safi is the deputy chief of Afghan government media relations.

阿富汗政府的媒體關係事務副主管西特法圖拉·薩菲說：

"There is a lot of achievement in Afghanistan in the last ten years, but not as much as people expect," said Safi.

“過去10年阿富汗取得了許多成就，但是沒有人們所期望的那樣多。”

Safi says the biggest disappointment is the failure to ensure Afghanistan's security.

薩菲說，最大的失望在於沒能確保阿富汗的安全。

"The Afghan people were hoping that international forces in the last ten years should secure their lives, and secure the Afghan borders - especially the east[ern] and south[ern] borders," added Safi. "But unfortunately today, the security situation is a big concern of the Afghan government and Afghan people."

他說：“阿富汗人民希望在過去10年國際部隊應該能確保他們的人身安全，維護阿富汗的邊界安全，尤其是東部和南部邊界。但不幸的是，今天，安全局勢是阿富汗政府和阿富汗人民的一大擔憂。”Wahidullah Ghazikhail, an independent Afghan researcher, is blunt about the U.S.-led stabilization mission.

瓦西杜拉·加齊克黑爾是阿富汗的一名獨立研究人員，他直言不諱地評價美國領導的維持穩定任務說：

"They are not successful in this 10-year war in Afghanistan," said Ghazikhail.

“他們在阿富汗的這場十年戰爭中沒有獲得成功。”

Ghazikhail says many Afghans were looking to the United States and its international partners for something similar to what followed World War II. "They helped Europe, especially Germany. And they went there with the Marshall Plan. And people were expecting the rehabilitation, rebuilding the nation, democracy, and reconstruction. But unfortunately we were expecting more," added Ghazikhail.

加齊克黑爾說，許多阿富汗人指望美國及其國際夥伴推行類似於第二次世界大戰後的做法。他說：“他們(在二戰後)幫助歐洲，尤其是德國。他們在歐洲推行馬歇爾計劃。人們期待復興、國家重建和民主。但不幸的是，我們期望的更多。”

Among ordinary Afghans, opinions about the decade-long, multi-billion dollar effort are mixed.

阿富汗普通民衆對於這場長達10年、耗資數十億的努力有着不同看法。

Ahmad Yossuf, a construction worker, has a bleak view of the state of his country. Neither the Taliban nor this government ever gave us anything, he says. It's the poor people, he says, who are the losers.

建築工人阿邁德·約瑟夫對阿富汗的狀況感到沮喪。他說：“不論是塔利班還是這個政府，都沒有給我們帶來任何東西。他說，輸家是可憐的民衆。”

His fellow laborer, Nesar Ahmad, sees a brighter side. He says that in the past ten years, development programs have been implemented, a national army has been formed, bridges and schools have been built - and some degree of democracy has been established. So it is a fact, he says, that some positive changes have taken place.

他的同事內薩·阿邁德則看到較爲光明的一面。他說，過去10年來，實施了發展項目，建立了國家軍隊，興建了橋樑和學校，還建立了某種程度上的民主。他說，事實上已經發生了一些積極的改變。
