At a recent Center for National Policy event, ATR Consulting’s head researcher Lola Cecchinel discussed how Afghans view their government and the Taliban.

Despite a wave of violence, most Afghans believe their government is in control of the country and oppose a return to the Taliban, according to a new survey.

The study comes as concern mounts in the West for Afghanistan’s future. The US is preparing to withdraw most of its troops this year, ending a war launched after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

But the survey by the firm ATR Consulting found 80 per cent of Afghans thought the government was in control.
