	Afghan Province's Problems Underline Challenge for U.S. - washingtonpost.com
		In many ways, Uruzgan is stuck in a vicious circle of danger and neglect.
		While many other provinces forge ahead with reconstruction, work cannot begin in earnest here until the security situation improves, because most aid organizations and contractors are too fearful to set up shop.
		Uruzgan was once home to Mohammad Omar, the Taliban leader, and his organization continues to enjoy some support here, especially among fellow ethnic Pashtuns.

	Dutch force in Uruzgan - too cautious - Radio Netherlands Worldwide - Independent thinking, independent voice - English
		The main objective of the Dutch 'Task Force Uruzgan' is to create the conditions for a secure and stable situation in the province - starting in the south - in order to make it possible to carry out (re)construction work.
		In cooperation with the Afghan military and police, the Dutch Task Force Uruzgan now controls the three main centres of population in the area: the provincial capital, Tarin Kowt; the tiny town of Deh Rawod, located further to the west, and the small town of Chora, which is situated further north.
		It is clear therefore that the Dutch troops are not pursuing an active policy aimed at eliminating the Taliban threat in 'their' province, and even the plans for an expansion of the 'ink blot' around Tarin Kowt, Deh Rawod and Chora have been put on a back burner until the summer at least.
