0:28:43 > 0:28:44Oh, yes.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55Please don't get up. I'm sorry, but I have to cut this meeting short.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57I only have a few minutes.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Don't be sorry.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02We came to thank you for your troops' efforts in Afghanistan.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04I'll make sure to pass that on.

0:29:04 > 0:29:08And we do understand why the Danish government wish to withdraw

0:29:08 > 0:29:10after the terrible losses you have suffered.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13But I'm not sure you understand

0:29:13 > 0:29:16how crucial your presence is in our country.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19If you allow me a few moments, I will try to explain.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Please do. Thank you.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47When the Taliban ruled in Afghanistan,

0:29:47 > 0:29:51I was not allowed to have a driver's licence because I'm a woman.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55Now I drive myself to work every morning.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59But...is that because you live in Kabul?

0:29:59 > 0:30:01You can't change the Afghan way of life overnight.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03But things ARE changing.

0:30:03 > 0:30:08Before the war, I was not allowed to have a job because I'm a woman.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Now I have my own bank account.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15After the invasion, girls have started to go back to school,

0:30:15 > 0:30:18educated women have got their old jobs back.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22Not all of them, just some. And they are still bombing schools.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26Yes. But hope exists. Hope for the better.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30And that hope is a direct result of your efforts.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32If you leave Afghanistan

0:30:32 > 0:30:35before we are ready to take care of ourselves,

0:30:35 > 0:30:40then there is no hope. Then the Taliban is all Afghans have left.
