ISAF support to Afghanistan rises

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) on Wednesday said that around 12,500 foreign soldiers remain on Afghan soil, which will include 9,800 troops from the US, 800 from Germany and the rest from other NATO allies and partners in relation to the new mission for supporting Afghanistan.
Yet, 2015 is likely to be a critical year for the country, as NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the United States’ Operation Enduring Freedon come to an end on Dec. 31, 2014, meaning an approximate 80% reduction in foreign troops.

ISAF has announced that they will respond to attacks in Afghanistan but they will not lead any combat operations.
ISAF emphasized on Afghan security forces ability for taking the full responsibility of security and noted (ISAF) will leave the country on December 31 after a 13-year military engagement.
More than a decade after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan under the pretext of a so-called war on terror, insecurity remains across the country.
The so-called Operation Enduring Freedom, the US name for the war in Afghanistan, is to be replaced with “Operation Resolute Support,” with the avowed aim of training, advice, and assistance for the Afghan security forces and institutions.
