Issues

Opinion
This is good for NATO and Afghan government, because NATO will not send a lot of armies to Afghan, and the Afghan government can easy to flight Taliban in some small towns with out NATO’s help. Therefore, many small towns use their power to get the peace by themselves. A lot of NATO’s armies can go back to their counties. On the other hand, the NATO and Afghan government should avoid these local forces help Taliban to fight NATO’s armies, because it is easy to happen some places.
