AFGHANISTAN-UNREST
President Ghani spokesman says US troop withdrawal will not affect Afghan
security
KABUL, Dec 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan
would not affect security of the war-torn country, a spokesman for President
Ashraf Ghani said Friday, in the first official response to the news that has
left officials in Kabul reeling.
“If they withdraw from Afghanistan it will not have a security impact
because in the last four and half years the Afghans have been in full
control,” presidential spokesman Haroon Chakhansuri said via social media.
