A donors' conference for rebuilding war-torn Afghanistan began in Tokyo on Monday, with the United States pledging $296 million and the European Union promising another $1 billion over the next four years. Other major donors were expected to announce pledges over the course of the conference, which is seen as a major test of the international community's commitment to help Afghanistan recover from two decades of conflict and the US-led war that ousted the Taliban rulers. The UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that he hoped $10 billion would be raised at the conference, but the pledges so far were just a fraction of that amount.
