| [ToloNews] The Afghan National Army forces have increased security measures around Bagram Airfield, the Defense Ministry said, days after the US forces left the base following two decades of presence there. The Defense Ministry said that the Afghan forces will use the base for counterterrorism purposes. "Bagram Airfield will be used as a powerful center for command of operations and the deployment of the second units of the Air Force," said Rohullah Ahmadzai, front man for the Ministry of Defense. "We will defend our nation as well as our dignity and pride until the last drop of our blood," said Sayed Mohammad, an Afghan National Army officer at Bagram Airfield. "We are deployed here in Bagram. We are fully prepared to defend and secure this area," said Ehsan, an Afghan National Army officer. Some residents of Bagram district said that two decades of US presence in Bagram did not change the situation in Afghanistan, calling on the warring parties to agree on peace.
