U.S., French Officials In Kabul For Talks

January 21, 2012 U.S. envoy Marc Grossman has arrived in Kabul for talks with President Hamid Karzai on preliminary peace talks with Taliban insurgents. Grossman said in a statement after arriving in Kabul on January 21 that "the United States stands ready to assist in any way we can an Afghan-led reconciliation process to find a peaceful end to this conflict." "I look forward to calling on President Karzai and discussing next steps," he added. Grossman's visit comes not long after the Taliban announced it planned to open a political office in Qatar ahead of talks with Washington aimed at ending ten years of civil strife in Afghanistan. Analysts say Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dispatched Grossman to Kabul to discuss the development with Karzai, who was reportedly concerned that he would be sidelined in the Qatar talks. Grossman's visit comes a day after French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he was considering an early exit from Afghanistan after an Afghan soldier shot dead four unarmed French troops and wounded many others on January 20. The AFP news agency has since reported that France's defense minister has arrived in Kabul for top-level talks. Gerard Longuet briefly met 12 of the French soldiers wounded in the attack and will hold talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other top Afghan and NATO officials in Kabul later on January 21. Longuet is expected to use his visit to evaluate the dangers facing the French mission responsible for training Afghan troops. His report will determine whether France decides to recall it. Meanwhile, the Taliban have claimed that the Afghan who killed the French soldiers on January 20 was one of their recruits. Using another name that the Islamist group use to call themselves, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters by telephone that "the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has recruited people in important positions. Some of them have already accomplished their missions." A regional Taliban commander added that incidents such as a video showing U.S. Marines urinating on corpses were boosting support for the group among Afghans and threatened more attacks. "Our missions have become easier because of incidents like the video," he said. Despite the presence of more than 180,000 foreign troops, violence across Afghanistan remains at its worst levels since the Taliban were toppled by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in late 2001, according to the United Nations. compiled from agency reports

Green Week: Animal-friendly food costs more

The biggest agriculture show in the world opens in Berlin on Friday, with the dominant message being: Animal-friendly agriculture is possible, but it costs extra. “Consumers who today complain about so-called factory farming, have ultimately supported exactly this type of farming with their purchase of cheap food and extreme price consciousness,” Heinrich Graf von Bassewitz of the National Union of Farmers (DBV) told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung on Thursday. The International Green Week runs from Friday to January 29, featuring food and exhibitions from around the world. But it has become a lightning rod for criticism of industrial farming, particularly after recent reports of excessive antibiotic use in German farms. The German government is keen to demonstrate its support for the more human, environmentally-aware elements of the industry. Agricultural Minister Ilse Aigner said on Thursday she was working with industry to promote “an ecologically sustainable, economically viable, socially responsible and resource-efficient economy.” Aigner said she wanted farmers to make more efficient use of the most resource-rich and valuable land and also wanted to see animal rights strengthened. And under new plans being drawn up, a special label would be put on food products verified as having been produced in a humane way, she said. In the long run, she told television network ARD, food prices would have to increase. But Green Party co-leader Renate Künast said the government should go further by, for instance, only subsidising farmers whose businesses meet minimum environmental and animal welfare standards. Germans demand for meat at low prices has made maintaining high standards difficult, she said, because mass production of meat on the cheap is only possible from factory farming. DVB President Gerd Sonnleitner said his members would sign up to Aigner’s ideas, although they could mean “heavy costs for our farmers.” Though Germans are known for demanding high standards in their food, they have also been criticised for being extremely frugal consumers. A study by the Federation of German Food and Drink Industries last year found that Germans pay less than shoppers in Italy, Spain or Great Britain.

Protest Held In NYC Over France's Armenian Genocid

NEW YORK -- About two dozen people of Turkish origin or descent gathered in front of the French Consulate in New York on January 5 to protest the French genocide bill, which would criminalize the denial that the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 constituted genocide. The evening protest, which was organized by the Young Turks Association, featured around 20 people waving Turkish and U.S. flags as they chanted "shame on France". Mae Sonmez, Vice President of the Northeast Region at the Assembly of Turkish American Associations, moved to the United States 23 years ago. She maintained that the bill was both "unfair" and "illegal," and that numerous attempts by the Turkish government to discuss what had happened were rejected: "The Turkish government [are] always asking Armenia [to] open the books, let's discuss on both sides," she said. "But they never open the books...we never can discuss archives and what is the truth." The Turkish government maintains that the massacres, in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed, were part of civil unrest during the fall of the Ottoman Empire and that there were heavy casualties on both sides. The French bill would impose a sentence of up to one year in prison, along with a 45,000 euro ($58,000) fine, for anyone who denies the genocide. The bill, which has passed the lower house and awaits a vote in the upper house of parliament later this month, has caused relations between the two countries to fray. After the first vote Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan swiftly halted bilateral political and economic contacts, suspended military support, and withdrew the Turkish ambassador to France. Erdogan slammed the bill as "politics based on racism, discrimination and xenophobia," and accused France of committing genocide in Algeria, a sentiment echoed by several people who attended the protest on January 5.

Georgian Soldier Killed In Afghanistan

Georgia’s defense ministry says that a Georgian soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, bringing to 11 the number of Georgian troops who have been killed serving with NATO-led forces fighting the Taliban. According to the AFP news agency, the ministry released a statement on December 31, saying that the soldier was killed in a mine blast in volatile Helmand Province. The Geoorgian news website civil.ge named the soldier as Corporal Besik Niniashvili from the 31st light infantry battalion of the third brigade. Georgia, which wants to join the NATO military alliance, currently has more than 900 troops serving in Afghanistan. Georgia's parliament voted on December 20 to almost double its troops in Afghanistan. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen recently said Georgia has "progressed significantly" in its NATO membership bid, but said the country still needs to build on democracy. compiled from agency reports
