QUETTA: The Nato and US troops have started withdrawal of their equipments from Afghanistan after more than ten years of war.

...

First convoy carrying weapons, armoured vehicles and trucks reached Quetta, the capital of Balochistan amid tight security on Tuesday evening.

Sources in frontier corps told Dawn.com that 50 trucks and armoured vehicles reached Quetta from Kandahar, the Taliban’s previous spiritual headquarter amid strict security measures.

They said levies and FC personnel guard the Nato convoy from Pak-Afghan border to Quetta. The convoy would leave for Port Qasim Karachi on Wednesday.

“Withdrawal of weapons and other equipments would continue in the coming days,” they said. Sources said security in and around Chaman, Pakistan’s bordering town with Afghanistan, was tightened following shifting of equipments.

Militants have attacked Nato supplies in different parts of Balochistan in the past.

You need to get out more. As troops pull out, contractors move in.

How does getting out help? I just stepped out, didn't see no troops didn't see no contractors, didn't see no convoys full of equipment or any roving gangs of terrorists.

When you return, take more photos. Sure, you'll be there for a month, but it'll be good for you to witness it all firsthand and post the photos.

More or less. The term is "Security Contractors" or "Private Military Contractors".
