AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-MILITARY
To go with 'Afghanistan-Unrest-Military' FOCUS by Ben Sheppard
In this photograph taken on December 10, 2014, an Afghan soldier from the 2nd unit of the third brigade of the 205 Corps stands next to freshly cut stems of hashish while other members of his unit patrol fields near their small combat outpost in southern Afghanistan. One ergonomic office chair, heaters that don't work and some maps are the only signs that US troops once battled daily with the Taliban at Siah Choy, a small combat outpost in southern Afghanistan. Now manned by just 30 Afghan soldiers, the base is in Kandahar province's Zhari district -- the birthplace of the Taliban movement and scene of years of heavy fighting as NATO forces struggled to gain a foothold in the area.
