Kai Eide - UN Special Envoy to Afghanistan

Stephen Sackur asks UN Envoy to Afghanistan Kai Eide whether the international community is either coherent, or united when it comes to Afghanistan.

President-elect Barack Obama believes the US has been focused on the wrong war. Afghanistan, not Iraq, will be his strategic priority and he's planning a troop surge into Afghanistan to make the point.

Stephen Sackur asks him whether the international community is either coherent, or united when it comes to Afghanistan.
