  • NATO and Afghanistan
    NATO and Afghanistan NATO led the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan from August 2003 to December 2014. ISAF was deployed at the request of the country’s authorities and mandated by the United Nations. Its mission was to enable the Afghan authorities to provide effective security across the country and ensure that the country would never again be a safe haven for terrorists. ISAF conducted security operations, while also training and developing the Afghan security forces. Following a three-year transition process during which the Afghans gradually took the lead for security across the country, ISAF’s mission was completed at the end of 2014. With that, Afghans assumed full responsibility for security. It is now fully in the hands of the country’s 352,000 soldiers and police, which ISAF helped train over the past years. However, support for the continued development of the Afghan security forces and institutions and wider cooperation with Afghanistan continue. ISAF helped create a secure environment for improving governance and socio-economic development, which are important conditions for sustainable stability. Afghanistan has made the largest percentage gain of any country in basic health and development indicators over the past decade. Maternal mortality is going down and life expectancy is rising. There is a vibrant media scene. Millions of people have exercised their right to vote in five election cycles since 2004, most recently in the 2014 presidential and provincial council elections, which resulted in the establishment of a National Unity Government. While the Afghan security forces have made a lot of progress, they still need international support as they continue to develop.

    COALITION COMBAT AND ADVISORY FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN AFGHANISTAN ORDER OF BATTLE BY WESLEY MORGAN February 1, 2016 This document describes the composition and placement of U.S. and other Western forces in Afghanistan down to battalion level. It includes advisory and ?white? special operations units, as well as many of the units that support them: artillery, engineers, explosive ordnance disposal, aviation, but not some other categories such as logistics, medical, and intelligence units, and ?black? special operations forces. Some of the organizational changes that accompanied the December 2014 transition from NATO?s International Security Assistance Force to the Resolute Support Mission and from the U.S. Operation Enduring Freedom to Operation Freedom?s Sentinel remain unclear which U.S. units, for example, fall under Operation Freedom?s Sentinel but not under the Resolute Support Mission.

Allerdings wurde allgemein die Siegerin der Women’s World Open als beste Spielerin der Welt anerkannt. Ab 1985 dominierten für lange Zeit die beiden herausragenden Spielerinnen Allison Fisher aus England und Karen Corr aus Nordirland die Szene. Knapp vor der Jahrtausendwende übernahm dann Kelly Fisher die Herrschaft im Damensnooker. Seit 2005 hat die Engländerin Reanne Evans den Ladies Thron inne, wobei jedes Jahr eine neue Finalgegnerin zu bezwingen war.
