The Dutch population is losing confidence in the success of their military mission to Afghanistan. An opinion poll carried out by the Ministry of Defense found that only 35% think that Dutch soldiers are able to fight the Taliban. In January the figure was 53%. In addition, only 32% think that the Dutch military mission is contributing to the rebuilding of Afghanistan, down from 47% in January. This decline in confidence is due to the killing of two Dutch soldiers by friendly fire.
