Topic Reading-Vol.91-7/11/2012

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Afghanistan aid: Donors pledge $16bn at Tokyo meeting.
Following the US’s announcement the day before being designated a Non-NATO ally status, the struggling poor country in mid Asia is going to be granted USD$16b in an effort to build social infrastructure and platform to be able to grow as a self-reliance country, which is currently depending 95% of its GDP on foreign financial assistance. Will it be possible for such an economically depending country to become one that can walk by itself? Have there ever been countries that made such dramatic transition or transformation in modern history?
Enjoy reading and learning about the commitment made by Afghanistan, its foreign allies and the UN.
