Afghanistan

To me the most interesting part of the article was the section labeled, The Taliban: Not the Only Concern. To me this is extremely significant because the Afghan soldiers have started to turn on the American soldiers that taughthow to protect themselves in the first place. This really came to the attention of American when four French soldiers were killed by Afghan soldiers. These actions by the Afghan soldiers proved to be a fatal error because there is no longer a truce between then Afghans and the French. France was the fifth-largest contingent in Afghanistan. This means that they had the fifth largest amount of French soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. With American leaving Afghanistan as well this puts Afghanistan in a very dangerous state because this allows room for terrorist groups to take control again like the Taliban. The most dangerous places are still controlled by international forces, but if the Afghan soldiers keep retaliating then they will lose all international relationships.
