Afghans of Jani Kheyl District, Paktya province sit with Afghan National Army soldiers of the 203rd Thunder Corps at the Chamkani District Center Sept. 4. The soldiers, conducting a “military support to civilian authority” mission, delivered enough flour, salt, sugar, oil, beans and tea to feed 856 families of seven for one month, according to the standards of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Upon receiving the supplies, one of the village elders expressed loyalty to the Afghan government, saying, “These are our ANA, and nothing can happen to them.”
