[Gang gun crime in getting out of control in some cities in Canada. We need to train more police for our own country-ed]
Canada’s ambassador to Afghanistan and senior government officials have offered a barrage of statistics about the military mission there, hoping to shore up flagging support at home.
Arif Lalani said progress is being made toward building a civil society, and said security is improving in Kandahar province, as well as elsewhere throughout southern Afghanistan.
Speaking at a technical briefing in Ottawa via conference call, Lalani brushed aside reports that Canadian troops are battling to retake ground they fought for last year, saying there is always back and forth in a war.
Senior government officials say Canada will be sending 22 more civilian police officers to help train the Afghan National Police, who’ve been persistent targets of Taliban militants.
