This news comes from today's Yahoo News bulletin, and from the Associated Press before that. NATO and Afghan forces have driven Taliban fighters from a stronghold in the southern region of Afghanistan today. The breakthrough came during a drive toward the Afghan city of Sangin, in Helmand Province. The drive is part of a larger NATO offensive, Operation Achilles, meant to clear Helmand Province of Taliban opposition to pave the way for work to continue work on a hydroelectric dam, which has the ptoential to power the entire southern part of the war-torn nation.
This latest progression is, hopefully, part of a new trend of progress in the nation that is the War on Terror's first battlefield. Afghanistan has the potential to prosper, if the wolves can be held off long enough for her to regain her legs.
