週刊誌「シュテルン」が実施した世論調査によれば、回答者の63%がドイツ軍のアフガン撤退を支持。対して残留支持は35%だった。
ドイツはNATO軍で三番目の勢力である3,000名をアフガンに派遣しているが、先週末3名のドイツ兵が自爆テロ攻撃によって死亡した。それ以後アフガン駐留への疑念が高まり、2/3近くのドイツ人が撤退支持を求めるに至ったもの。シュテルン誌によれば「態度未定」は2%。
この調査結果はアフガン情勢とタリバン復活などについて、国内での懸念の強まりを反映したものである。また最近行われたカナダの世論調査でも、国民の間でアフガン介入への疑念が強まっている。

Most Germans want to pull out of Afghanistan-poll

BERLIN, May 23 (Reuters) - Nearly two thirds of Germans want their troops to withdraw from Afghanistan after three German peacekeeping soldiers were killed over the weekend, a poll published on Wednesday showed.
Carried out on Monday by the Forsa polling agency for weekly Stern magazine, the poll showed 63 percent of respondents believe Germany's Bundeswehr armed forces should withdraw from Afghanistan compared to 35 percent in favour of remaining.
Two percent were undecided, Stern said.
The poll reflects the country's increasing unease about the situation in Afghanistan and the resurgence of the Taliban.
Three German soldiers were killed in a suicide bomb attack in northern Afghanistan over the weekend, sparking calls from opposition leaders and members of the Social Democrats (SPD), one of the two "grand coalition" parties, for withdrawal.
The Taliban and allies such as the al Qaeda network have stepped up raids in the past 18 months in Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 50,000 foreign troops led by NATO and the U.S. military, as well as some 100,000 Afghan forces.
In that period thousands of people, including more than 200 Western troops, have died in the violence, the bloodiest since U.S.-led forces overthrew the Taliban government in 2001 in retaliation for the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
With around 3,000 troops in Afghanistan, Germany is the third largest contingent in the NATO-led force.
Recent polls show Canadians are also becoming increasingly uneasy about their troops' involvement in Afghanistan.
During a visit to Afghanistan by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Tuesday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged countries to remain in Afghanistan until the country manages to stay on its own feet or else "terrorists" will strike again.
