President Ashraf Ghani on Monday reiterated that there will be no compromise on security and the defense forces in the peace negotiations and that the troops have given the "highest sacrifice" in the last six years. 

US forces left one of their biggest bases in Afghanistan--in Logar province--and handed it over to Afghan forces, local officials said. The base once hosted at least 18,000 troops. It is located 76 miles south of Kabul in Logar province.
