The prime minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, said the Labour party – the second-largest party in his ruling coalition – was quitting.He tendered his government's resignation to Queen Beatrix, the Dutch ceremonial head of state, in a telephone call. Balkenende has been weighing up a request from Nato for Dutch troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2010. Just under 2,000 Dutch personnel have been serving in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, where 21 Dutch soldiers have been killed. Balkenende's Christian Democratic Alliance wants to keep a trimmed-down military presence in the region, but the Labour party has demanded the Netherlands sticks to a scheduled withdrawal. The troops should have returned home in 2008, but their stay was extended to August 2010 because no other Nato country offered replacements. "A plan was agreed when our soldiers went to Afghanistan," said the Labour leader, Wouter Bos. "Our partners in the government didn't want to stick to that plan, and on the basis of their refusal we have decided to resign from this government." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/20/dutch-coalition-collapse-afghanistan |
