Defence of Kabul Important

Security of Kabul is a key concern for the Afghan government and for that purpose holding of all round defence of the capital is no doubt necessary. Thus while there may be some criticism of the excessive focus on the capital, given that it remains one of the primary targets for the Taliban and as a symbol of the government would be important to be provided maximum security. The FOBs will ensure that any challenges are met outside the capital without affecting the security within, which should add to the overall safety of citizens. What is equally important however is developing the intelligence grid and not enough work is evident in this field so far with continued reports of penetration of the grid from time to time.
