Another Canadian Supports a Renewed Mission, From Sudan

It seems that discussion about Canada's role in Afghanistan after 2011 has reached the ends of the earth, with Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee founding member Zack Baddorf voicing his concern while working in Sudan. An excerpt of his op ed in the Vancouver Sun:

Afghanistan needs that same chance, but without peace, it won't be able to develop. I've read with dismay the news of Canadian political leaders announcing that Canadian troops will be returning home from Afghanistan without completing their mission.

I reported from Afghanistan in 2008 and believe we shouldn't abandon the country at this critical time. As a member of the Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee, I believe Afghans deserve peace, justice and stability.

The withdrawal of Canadian soldiers would deny Afghanistan its chance to prosper.
