Current Affairs Czechs pledge more troops to Afghanistan but real battle will be in parliament
After months of anticipation President Barack Obama finally announced this week he would be sending an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan in a bid to bring the U.S.-led war to a close. To further that end, Washington expects its partners in NATO to send at least another 5,000 troops, and governments in several NATO countries – including the Czech Republic – have already responded. However, they’ll first need to persuade a sceptical parliament in Prague.
