One of the key issues, which have become the hotbed of political discussions and arguments is the capacity of Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to accomplish their task unilaterally without depending on the muscle of foreign security forces. Similar to the rest of social and political issues, the notion has also supporters and oppositions, and each one has their own reasons and considerations. But there is agreement that security forces are in need of further training if they are going to take the responsibility on the basis of pre-fixed schedule.

The security transition has already started. And the first and second phases were completed and, however, it is not clear when the third phase may start and which provinces and districts would be included. Instead there is one thing clear: the performance of ANSF is under scrutiny whether they are able to protect people against Taliban-led insurgency or not.

But without consideration of their ability and capacity, they have to accept security responsibility of the entire country in 2014, because that is the deadline for completion of military withdrawal of International force led by US. This is something that government and nation should be alerted equally.

There are various challenges that security officials should deal with. One of them is the issue of infiltrators. Several times, Afghan and NATO forces have been targeted by their fellows who were later identified as Taliban and Al-Qaeda infiltrators. The most recent incident occurred in eastern province, which left four French soldiers dead, and many more injured.

The incident proved highly consequential. French President Nicolas Sarkozy subsequently halted Afghan military trainings and decided to pull out French troops. That was not the first incident. Series of other similar attacks took place all claimed by Taliban.

So, how to deal with infiltrators has always been a dilemma. In an effort to solve the issue officials have begun ordering soldiers with families in Pakistan to either move their relatives to Afghanistan or leave the military. It is deemed that those soldiers whose families are in eastern neighbor are far likely to turn against Afghan and foreign fellows.

Therefore, it is decided to get soldiers bring their families and relatives back to the country in order to get rid of influence of foreign elements. The initiative will encounter soldiers with hard choice as well as affect the already tense relation between Kabul and Islamabad.
