Sad. Seems to imply that the only way to control the country is for continuous occupation. It's such an impoverished place one wonders how they can spare the manpower to fight. Unless they can eat rocks. They seem to be that tough.
"The British-brokered deal appears to have come to an end."
"Taleban forces in southern Afghanistan have taken control of a town which British troops had pulled out of after a peace deal with local elders."
