VOA标准英语2010年-British Forces Leave Afghanistan's Dea
时间:2019-01-14 作者:英语课 分类:VOA标准英语2010年(九)月
It has been more than four years since British troops were deployed 1 to Sangin and in that time 106 Britons have lost their lives.
British forces handed control on Monday of the deadly Sangin district to U.S. troops, and about 1,000 Royal Marines are to be redeployed to Helmand province.
Speaking on the BBC Monday, British commanding officer Lieutenant 2 Colonel Paul James said British forces did make headway towards bringing peace and stability to Sangin. "I think it is important to recognize that governance has been allowed to develop here and take hold, development has been allowed to take hold and develop and really start to flourish now."
James said the most important step has been training Afghan forces in the area. "It is not going to be British forces who bring success to Sangin, it is not going to be American forces, it is not going to be anyone else other than the Afghans themselves."
Sangin is the site of one-third of British deaths in Afghanistan. Politics expert Steven Fielding, from Britain's University of Nottingham
