Newsday

Available for over a year

The battle for Sangin comes a little over a year after the end of UK operations in Afghanistan, in which at least 450 soldiers were killed. Why is Sangin, a key strategic town, so vulnerable to the insurgents in southern Afghanistan? Jawad Samimi from the Âé¶¹Éç's Pashto Service explains the situation.
