Afghanistan Parades Army on Victory Anniversary
Thirteen years after Islamic mujahideen warriors ousted the Soviet-backed government in Kabul, Afghanistan celebrated the anniversary yesterday with a parade of troops from its fledgling national army and police. Soldiers from the newly formed force that now stands at over 24,000 troops wore green uniforms and sat atop tanks, showcasing a new era in the country which was torn apart by a quarter-century of war.Posted by: Fred 2005-04-29 |
