In the near future, the Hedelop must have a conversation with the leaders of the Taliban, to clarify, at what points of the country they need help. According to Heslop, now in Afghanistan employs approximately 40 percent of the composition of his group, but he wants to expand the presence of up to 80 or 90 percent.
