Corruption and poverty are fuelling the war in Afghanistan, a survey by British charity Oxfam and local organisations released a day before Hamid Karzai's inauguration for a second presidential term has said.

Forty-eight per cent of those interviewed said that corruption and ineffectiveness of the Afghan government was a major cause.
