As the British-led Operation Panther's Claw and US-led Operation River Liberty continue across Helmand the Commanders of British, American and Afghan Forces have joined the Provincial Governor to promise the people of Afghanistan that they would prevail against the insurgents. Brigadier Tim Radford, Commander of Task Force Helmand, said at a press conference yesterday that despite the loss of several British troops in the last week morale is high and, hour-by-hour and day-by-day, the troops feel they are winning. He was joined at the press conference held in Lashkar Gah yesterday, Thursday 9 July 2009, by Governor Mangal; Brigadier General Larry Nicholson, Commander of the US Forces in Helmand; and General Mohaiyodin, local Commander of the Afghan National Army. It is the first press conference of its kind in Helmand and took place in a newly-built media centre, constructed as part of British and American redevelopment programmes. Report and Video >>
