Afghanistan is an opium hub and it is well known for the cultivation of maximum opium. The opium cultivation is much more in Afghan and interestingly, they are doing these types of activities effortlessly. Drug trafficking in Afghanistan has risen to new heights and the famous leaders are actually involved in drug trafficking to complete their desires. The area near the Taliban border is considered as the most fertile area and the cultivation of opium is high in that area.

The cultivation is mainly done by terrorists or other people who did this for them. The military and police officials are doing their best efforts to remove the opium cultivation land and they are planning different strategies to control the opium cultivation. Al – Qaeda is the only militant group that can be behind all these drug trafficking activities and it has to be removed to establish peace and security within the country. The main terror and opium come from Taliban and the meeting about the separation of Taliban is in the air which can be a good step from the Government in order to save the people of Afghanistan.

Above all, Afghanistan can be declared as Narco- State and UN officials have said that fighting with terrorist is easy but fighting with opium cultivation there is very difficult as the major area is affected by opium and the people there can do anything for opium. Some officials of Afghanistan also said that the most of the suicide bombers are drug addicts and they do not even know anything about the detonators. So, it can be a matter of serious concern for the Government of Afghanistan and they should act swiftly in order to save their own people from the darkness of addiction and loneliness.

The world leaders during this meeting pledged to provide to provide the country with the support of $140 m so that it could effectually register a win over Taliban.  One more news that came from the UN sources stated that the UN representative to Afghanistan has already met the Taliban members. This meeting took place on January 8th, 2010 in Dubai and all this was after the request that the militants had made.

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai also seems to be positive about the security transition as he has also announced many of the plans in which the Taliban members have been encouraged to relinquish violence and join hands in the peace talks and endeavors.  At this point of time, one can say that both the Taliban members and the Afghan government  has to settle on one common term that violence is not a way t put forward the grievances as with these only the innocent people are subjected to insecurity. 

There is a need of a complete reintegration plan that contains the course of action in which the Afghan government is going to slowly and steadily going to gain the control. The aim for which the Afghanistan government and the foreign powers helping it should be to align the military resources and coming out with a well thought strategy that could help President to work towards his agenda. There needs to be a mutual understanding between the Afghan government and the nations that are providing it aid.

These operations of Afghanistan trying back to gain the control have to first of all consider the most insecure areas and once the control is established over them, the less secure ones are to be considered.  For carrying out this security transition process, Afghanistan government is surely going to require a whole lot of physical security as without this results cannot be expected to come.  The Afghanistan’s forces are to be provided with all sorts of trainings so that their capabilities are boosted and they become capable of dealing with the critical situations.  One more thing that the Afghan government has to take its attention towards is the ever mounting corruption as this is not a very difficult think to trap.  If the corruption is tackled properly, forces are equipped and trained; this transition is surely going to lead to some positive results.

Now the clock is ticking fast and if the government and the people do not start working together, chances are very much there that Taliban would be able to strengthen its base.  The nuclear laboratory that is functional here is also a cause of big tension and this is one such thing that has to be taken into consideration immediately.

There are many demonstrations that have filled the streets of the country in the past and most of the times these have been a result of the political crackdown.  The nuclear concern seems to be the biggest one at the moment as it has managed to make the big powers think about it.  With the government of Iran claiming that the nuclear power is being used to produce electricity, there are not many who are willing to believe in this.

Although the political condition of the country appears to be quite settled as for now, there are many challenges that are still to be dealt with.  Obama administration has been seen condemning the violence that has knocked the country in the past, but did not came out with any of the suggestions and measures stating that it would not like to interfere in the domestic matters of the country.  Now it seems that Obama administration is making the other countries of the world to also bring their attention towards Iran and come out with the ways in which it could be subjected to rebuilding its view towards Iran. 

Now that the Obama administration is providing its commitment towards the talks and the negotiations, it seems that the signals are being sent that Iranian demonstrators can come out with their opinion openly. Now that approval has been given to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by the supreme leader of Iran, the entire political condition is still abating.

It can be surely said after looking at this scenario that the unified approach that Obama administration is following is not an open ended one. If one looks at the approach with which the condition in Iran can be sought out, then it can be surely said that the control lies in the hands of the Iranian people and when the government would start listening to them, the conditions are surely going to improve.  The defensive approach that the various countries are following for Iran have to be changed as with this only the possibilities for the talks are going to open. Lastly, the Iranian government has to realize that there are various different ways in which they can show their strength and nuclear weapons are surely one of those.

One can just hope and pray that the Obama administration and the Iranian government walk in the direction that leads to peace in Iran as the people living here have been waiting for this from a long time.
