KABUL, Afghanistan - Members of the Afghan national security forces have been playing a key role in securing key areas in the Gor Tepa region of Kunduz province, continuing through Jan. 10.
Due to increased security, local Afghans have been afforded additional opportunities to communicate with one another.
Radio stations now have the freedom and opportunity to broadcast a variety of music and entertainment programs and cellular phone towers are now operating 24 hours a day. These services were denied from local residents, prior to the start of this mission due to insurgent strongholds on communication assets.
The combined effort between ANSF and ISAF has brought about a greater sense of security in the region and has afforded the local populace a greater opportunity to communicate. In addition, it has expanded the reach of the government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to areas previously held by insurgents.
