Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia – economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high­ quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Afghan Voices is a series of occasional papers which aims to inject a range of Afghan views into the discussion of issues surrounding the international community’s intervention in Afghanistan. How Afghans view coalition military operations in Kandahar Zabih Ullah* Over the last nine months the US-led coalition in Afghanistan has been implementing a new and more comprehensive counter-Taliban strategy. This has seen the dispatch of additional troops to Afghanistan, the evolution of new tactics on the ground and the launching of major new operations in southern Afghanistan. Perhaps the most critical of these have been US-led efforts to push back the Taliban in Kandahar province. This operation in Kandahar will be a key signal of how well the coalition’s new strategy is working. It is not just that the south is where the Taliban is most active.
