Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Sunday announced a new transfer of security control from NATO that will see local forces take responsibility for 75 percent of Afghanistan’s population.
Kapisa province, where French troops are based, will be among 11 provinces to come under Afghan control, a statement from the president’s office said.
It is the third phase of the transition of military control in the war-torn country and another step towards the withdrawal of 130,000 U.S.-led NATO troops by the end of 2014.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen welcomed the move.
“The completion of transition at the end of 2014 will mark the end of NATO’s combat role, but not the end of our engagement,” he said in a statement.
“NATO is committed to an enduring partnership with Afghanistan, and to providing the training which the Afghan forces will still need, beyond 2014.”
