Afghan Forces Have Been Fully in Charge of the Security for Years: NATO

KABUL - NATO in a reaction of possible US withdrawing from Afghanistan says, the Afghan army and police have been fully in charge of the security of Afghanistan for over four years.
The NATO alliance Spokesperson, Oana Lungescu told Pajhwok Afghan News “We have seen the reports. For any comments, I refer you to the US authorities. In general, let me remind you that the Afghan army and police have been fully in charge of the security of Afghanistan for over four years.”
She said this in reaction to US leader Donald Trump’s announcement of withdrawing nearly 7,000 American troops from the country within months.
“Afghan forces are a brave, committed and increasingly capable force, which have ensured the security of the parliamentary elections earlier this year.” She added.
Lungescu said, NATO leads a coalition of 41 nations in our Resolute Support Mission. Our aim is to train, advice and assist the Afghan forces, as they create the conditions for peace.
At the NATO Summit in July, Allied leaders also agreed to extend funding for the Afghan security forces until 2024. Earlier this month, NATO Foreign Ministers expressed steadfast commitment to ensuring long-term security and stability in Afghanistan. The NATO Spokesperson said.
“Our engagement is important to ensure that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for international terrorists who could threaten us at home” She added.   (Pajhwok)
