Blackwater set to remain in Afghanistan despite reshuffling private security contractors: "Blackwater is set to remain in Afghanistan after President Hamid Karzai has been forced by the Western partners to give up his plans of shunting private security companies out of his country.
According to plans, which would be announced by the Afghan government this month, many security contractors whom Karzai had considered to be of little importance in Kabul, will be allowed to continue operating for another year, The Guardian reports.
As part of a complex new transition strategy, the government has reportedly given them time up to March 21, 2012 before the Afghan Public Protection Force takes control over security for development projects.
Western and Afghan officials have said that the draft plans drawn up by former Karzai opponent Ashraf Ghani would allow companies to keep supplying private guards and security services to development projects indefinitely, the paper said."
