"They help our security forces a great deal in security matters here," said Mr Hamdam told the BBC. "In many districts they work together with the Afghan National Army, and they help in developmental projects. "They are constructing bridges, schools, roads and assisting in many other educational projects." |

Isn't it great to see some positive words coming from Afghanistan itself which speak of all the good things the troops are doing out there. Almost a 'thank you'. |

I'd be interested to know what his counterparts in other provinces have to say about the troops from other countries and what they're doing. |
