766
+ <p class="introduction"> French President Francois Hollande has arrived in Afghanistan on a previously unannounced visit. </p>
767
+ <p>Mr Hollande, who took office earlier this month, flew into Kabul and is expected to spend only a few hours in Afghanistan, visiting French soldiers. </p>
768
+ <p>He is also expected to hold talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.</p>
769
+ <p>Mr Hollande wants to withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2012, a year earlier than the deadline set by Nicolas Sarkozy.</p>
770
+ <p>Mr Hollande is said to want to &quot;explain himself&quot; to French soldiers, and make the reasons for the decision clear to them.</p>
771
+ <p>Mr Hollande described the early withdrawal as a &quot;sovereign decision&quot;, and added that it would be &quot;conducted in good understanding with our allies, especially President Obama - who understands the reasons - and in close consultation with Afghan authorities&quot;. </p>
772
+ <p>There are currently about 3,300 French soldiers serving in Afghanistan - the fifth largest contributor to the Nato force. </p>
773
+ <p>Eighty-three have been killed during the deployment, which began in 2001.</p>
774
+ <p>It is thought some French soldiers will remain in Afghanistan after the combat troops leave.</p>
775
+ <p>Their mission will be to help train the Afghan National Army.</p>
