Stephen Sackur talks to UN Envoy to Afghanistan Kai Eide.

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. But the UN Envoy to Afghanistan, Kai Eide, says what's really needed is a political surge. Stephen Sackur asks him whether the international community is either coherent, or united when it comes to Afghanistan.
