In the Afghan section in London responsible for governing Afghan policy on the ground, I was told last year that there was not a single staff member of the foreign office in that section who had ever served on a posting in Afghanistan.
Di bagian Afganistan di London yang bertanggung jawab membuat keputusan di lapangan, tahun lalu saya diberi tahu tidak ada satupun pegawai di kantor luar negeri pada bagian itu yang pernah bertugas di Afganistan.
