Afghanistan: Estonia increases commitment to Afghanistan

If one looks at the mainstream media, it is often hard to appreciate that there are more than a handful of nations playing a role in Afghanistan. Estonia for example yesterday approved a one-year extension of the country's military deployment in Afghanistan until the end of 2009.

The parliament also passed a proposal to increase Estonian troops in the Asian country to at least 150.

Estonia has taken part in the NATO-led International-Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan (ISAF) since 2003. Three Estonian soldiers have been killed in the military operation so far.
