The new French president reiterated that “combat troops will be withdrawn at
the end of 2012” adding that some “military” elements would stay on Afghan
soil for training Afghan police and soldiers and to help “repatriate our
materiel.”
An aide to the president said the calendar for the withdrawal of the French
troops from Afghanistan would be drawn up “in the next 10 days.”
Mr Hollande also said that as a Nato member France was being asked to
contribute to the Afghan security forces budget of $4.1 billion a year from
2015.
“We have not replied. In principle we can look at it, but we haven’t fixed a
sum, and we are not bound by what Germany and other countries may do,” he
said.
“We have set a condition, which is to know if these eventual contributions
will be effectively controled,” Mr Hollande added.
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that his country’s
military mission in Afghanistan would end March 31, 2014.
Canada will however continue funding Afghan forces until 2017, officials said,
as the remaining coalition forces withdraw from the country after a more
than decade at war.
“Canada will honour its commitment and complete its current training mission
but our country will not have any military mission in Afghanistan after
March 2014,” Mr Harper said.
Canada’s longest-running combat mission officially ended in July last year –
after joining Nato’s coalition to overthrow the Taliban in 2001 – with the
handover of security duties in Kandahar province to US and Afghan troops.
