"Afghanistan wants to have a powerful army as other countries have," said Nesar Ahmad Ahmadi, the deputy governor of Badakhshan.

The local officials also called for a strong army in the country.

"Every country has the right to have a powerful army and Afghanistan also needs to have an army that can defend its borders," said Sher Ahmad Jawad, the head of the Vice and Virtue office in Badakhshan.

Several residents of Badakhshan province welcomed the forces. "The forces who are trained will be effective in maintaining security in Badakhshan," Abdul Baes Hakimi said.
