Afghan troops pull out of second Helmand district | 22 Feb 2016 | Afghan government forces have pulled out of a second district in Helmand, officials said on Monday, leaving the Taliban in control of most of the northern part of the province after troops withdrew from Musa Qala district last week.The surprise withdrawals nonetheless leave the Taliban poised to move on the nearby Kajaki district, the site of a huge hydroelectric dam [insanely] built with millions of U.S. dollars [even though there's no money to replace the poisonous water pipes in Flint, Michigan,] as part of a drive to provide power to Helmand and neighbouring Kandahar provinces. U.S. Special Forces units have been in the region to help train the Afghan army and hundreds more American troops were sent to reinforce security for the training mission.
