AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-NATO

New NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg (L) and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani (R) walk to attend a press conference at the Presidential Palace in Kabul on November 6, 2014. New NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg vowed on November 6 that Afghanistan would not be abandoned when the alliance's combat mission ends next month after 13 years of bloody fighting against resilent Taliban insurgents. NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) will wind up at the end of this year and be replaced by a far smaller training and support mission named "Resolute Support". But Afghanistan's future stability could be at risk without international troops no longer on the battlefield and the national security forces enduring huge casualties as they struggle to struggle to thwart the Taliban.
