| Afghan Forces Unable to Take Security Responsibility in Panjsher |
| 2011-07-07 |
| Afghan cops are unable to take responsibility for security in Panjsher province, one of the seven handover areas, local officials said on Wednesday. General Mohammad Qasim Jangalbagh, Panjsher police commander said as Panjsher province is bordered by insecure provinces, after the foreign troops' withdrawal the province will face many challenges. "Due to limited number of forces in Panjsher, we cannot take the security responsibility for this province. And because Panjsher is bordered by insecure provinces, we need a huge force," Mohammad Qasim said. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... Panjsher governor, US ambassador in Kabul and security transition chief accepted that there could be challenges after foreign troops withdraw, but said that Afghan cops will be able to take the security responsibility for the province. "We are facing some challenges in security of Panjsher province, and lack of police forces. But we try to solve these challenges in cooperation with Ministry of Interior Affairs," Keramuddin Karim, Panjsher governor said. Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Tex and his new-found Indian friend were preparing a little surprise for the bandidos... security transition chief, Dr Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai said that after the withdrawal, International Community's aid to Afghanistan will be decreased. "The world will decrease its aid, because the International situation is changing and due to that our responsibility for protecting our national interests are increasing too. We should know the situation clearly," Dr Ahmadzai said. But US ambassador in Kabul, Karl Eikenberry ...retired United States Army Lieutenant General currently serving as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan... , said it is important that Afghans take the responsibility for security. "In the years ahead now, What the Afghan people I believe aspired for is now they want their own illusory sovereignty; they have the confidence of standing on their foundation and increasingly now they want to be providing for their own security. They want their own government to be in charge," Mr Eikenberry said. US President Barack B.O.Obama has announced that in the next summer about 33,000 US troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan. Panjsher is among 7 provinces where Afghan cops are to undertake security responsibilities. |
