tolonews

A total of 40,000 troops will exit Afghanistan by the end of 2012.

The US will withdraw 33,000 troops by the end of next year, a third of the 101,000 American troops that were here during the peak of military presence in Afghanistan.

Other countries will also cut their troop numbers.

Many nations will keep some soldiers in the country to train and mentor Afghan troops. They have also pledged to continue financial aid after 2014 when all international combat troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan.

The Afghan government on Sunday announced the second phase of security transition to local troops. Afghan forces will take over the responsibility for providing security in 18 new areas.

There are currently around 130,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan fighting insurgents in Afghanistan; 90,000 of those are from the US.

By the end of this year, about 14,000 foreign troops will leave Afghanistan, according to an Associated Press tally. The US is returning 10,000 service members home by the end of 2011.

Saffron Grows Well in Helmand, Ministry Says

طلوع نیوز



Trials to grow saffron in Helmand province have proved successful with the province's climate suiting the plant well, the Department of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock said.

The pilot project to grow saffron in Helmand started a month ago, the agriculture directorate said. The scheme also included some training for farmers interested in learning how to grow saffron. The pilot cost 1 million afghanis.

Some farmers agreed to grow saffron if they can find markets in which to sell their produce. Efforts to find markets both inside and outside the country are already under way, agriculture officials said.

"We have taken all the necessary measures in this regard and I am sure that we will find markets for our saffron," the head of Helmand's agriculture department, Abdullah Ahmadzai, said.

Helmand is the largest producer of poppy in Afghanistan and government and international officials are striving to convince farmers to switch to growing other crops such a wheat, pomegranates and now saffron.

Saffron plants produce one yield each year in other parts of Afghanistan but due to Helmand's good climate the plant is expected to product two yields per year.

One kilogramme of saffron costs about $3,000 in Afghanistan, $6,000 in the region as much as $8,000 on international markets. Growing saffron may therefore potentially be very lucrative for farmers.

"For farmers who own a small amount of land, growing saffron proved very suitable," one of the farmers who took part in the pilot programme said. "People are very optimistic about it.

400 Families to Get Electricity in Khost




The officials from Breshna company said on Monday that nearly four thousand families will get electricity in Khost province in the near future.

The officials said that the company will provide a 1000 KW power generator in Khost province which will cover around 4000 families.

Khost province doesn't have water generated power, and all the electricity should be provided through diesel generators which costs a lot, the officials added.

Meanwhile, Khost provincial governor welcomes the project and says that to run the industrial parks in the province, permanent electricity should be provided.

"Twenty four-hour electricity should be provided through Kabul province in order to keep the industrial parks and other factories running. Provision of diesel generators is a good start," Abdul Jabbar Naimi, Khost provincial governor said.

Lack of electricity is a major problem in Khost and currently most of its residents do not have permanent electricity.
