NATO reaps benefit of 'nuanced' approach in Afghanistan

摘要

NATO's 'nuanced' approach in Afghanistan, which aims to reintegrate some elements of the Taliban into civilian life, is bearing fruit, the chief spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) told reporters in Brussels on 16 March.rnA test case will be how ISAF troops now pursue the Taliban in its stronghold region of Helmand in southern Afghanistan and particularly around the city of Marjah. The latter has been the focus of a major ISAF offensive, codenamed Operation 'Moshtarak', which since 13 February has scattered Taliban forces across the region.
