Afghans react to London conference on future of country

Leaders from nearly 70 countries met today in London for a one-day summit on the strategy in Afghanistan.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended the conference and pointed towards an eventual withdrawal of US forces.

"We will move forward to transition out our forces as they are replaced by trained and qualified Afghan forces."

World leaders promised $140 million to go towards persuading low-level Taliban fighters to lay down their arms.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai renewed his pledge to tackle corruption and said he supported efforts to reach out to Taliban leaders, calling them "disenchanted brothers" of the Afghan people. To find out what Afghan citizens think of these plans, FSRN’s Mujahid Jawad talked to residents of Kabul.
