Kabul, Dec 4 (ANI): Western nations are expecting Afghanistan to collapse into civil war after NATO troops leave the war-torn country, secret military documents have revealed.
Although governments have publicly expressed hope to stabilise the nation's democracy, the leaked memos suggested that they are preparing for the worst, the Daily Mail reports.
