Afghans and Dutch in Uruzgan province

Afghan tribal leaders in Uruzgan province have handed a petition to Dutch troops asking them to stay in the province and not withdraw, because they say they are essential to provide security and foster development.

But this could be an example of tribal infighting.

It could also be NATO propaganda, given that Wikileaks has just released an alleged CIA secret document that discusses strategies to convince European publics to support the Afghan mission and which emphasizes the use of media propaganda to turn the tide of popular opposition to the Afghan war in Europe.
