SHARANA (Pajhwok): Local officials and residents in southern Paktika province say the deployment of tribal security forces played an important role in improving security of three districts in the province.
About seven years back, US forces helped create a tribal security unit in three districts including Gomal, Shakin and Barmal of Paktika. These security men receive salaries from the US.
Akhtar Mohammad, a resident of Shakin district, told Pajhwok Afghan News that besides improving security, the tribal security unit also helped stop illegal deforestation in the province.
“We are very satisfied with this . . .
