The Afghan army and police alone are responsible for security in seven areas of Afghanistan from July, initiating the so-called transition plan that provides for the Afghan security forces alone assume control of certain areas of the country , gradually. This was announced on Tuesday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, at a rally in Kabul, who has attended much of the Afghan Government and Members of Parliament and staff of the Afghan security forces.
The areas will come under the control of the Afghan army and police is, in principle the international troops will withdraw from there or not be responsible for security, are as follows: the cities of Herat, Lashkar Gah, Mazar -e-Sharif and Mehtarlam, and the provinces of Kabul, Bamyan and Panjshir.
In all these areas, especially outstanding city of Lashkar Gah, which is the capital of Helmand province, one of the most volatile areas of southern Afghanistan where the Taliban dominate much of the territory. In Lashkar Gah, however, there is relative calm. For months there has been no attack.
The cities of Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat in the north and west respectively, are locations mostly ethnic Tajik population, with little influence Taliban and where the presence of international troops and was almost zero. In the military base in Herat is prominent part of the Spanish contingent in Afghanistan, but said military installation is located on the outskirts of the city.
Mehtarlam is the capital of Laghman province, which borders Kabul and is also an area of Pashtun population. However, in Mehtarlam there have been few incidents. Regarding the three provinces that will be brought under control by police and Afghan army, two of them have always been known for good security situation.
Is a province of Panjshir Tajiks and he came from the missing Afghan military leader Ahmad Shah Masud. There, the Taliban never had the strength. And the same applies to Bamyan, a province populated by ethnic Hazaras, where the Taliban staged major massacres of civilians during his regime.
Consequently, the insurgency of popular support was never there. Not so in the province of Kabul. The capital itself was under control of the Afghan security forces for more than a year, but not the rest of the province where there are significant pockets where the insurgency has a strong presence.
For example, the area of Sarobi. Decide which areas will come under control of the Afghan security forces in a first phase of the transition plan has been a long process. To this end the so-called Transition Committee of NATO and Afghanistan formed, as its name suggests, representatives of the Afghan government and NATO, has analyzed the security situation of each of the provinces of Afghanistan as well as development and governance.
The transition plan is expected to last until 2014, as decided by the countries with troops in Afghanistan at the NATO summit held in Lisbon last November.
