French Afghan pullout ‘within weeks’

[Areesh]

PARIS: French President Francois Hollande said on Thursday the withdrawal of the country’s troops from Afghanistan would begin within weeks, as he paid tribute to four soldiers killed at the weekend.

“Our combat troops will begin leaving Afghanistan soil in the next few weeks,” Hollande said, adding that the withdrawal would take place “in order and security.”

Before his election in May, Hollande promised to speed up France’s withdrawal from Afghanistan so it would be completed by the end of 2012 — a year earlier than Paris initially planned and two years before a Nato deadline.
