Train, Advise, Assist – aber wen?

Ashraf Ghani, Angela Merkel

Mit dem neuen Jahr, mit der neu gestarteten Mission Resolute Support sollen die ausländischen Truppen in Afghanistan die Beratung der afghanischen Sicherheitskräfte voranbringen – Train, Advise, Assist.  Aber wie sieht es mit den staatlichen Strukturen am Hindukusch aus?
