Afghanistan's president is setting a four-month deadline for private security companies to cease operations in the country, a spokesman said Monday.阿富汗總統設立一 4個月的期限給私人保安公司，在該國家停止運作，一名發言人週一表示。
A presidential decree expected to be issued later Monday will detail the process through which the companies should cease operations, spokesman Waheed Omar told reporters in Kabul.
一項總統法令預計在週一稍後發出，詳列公司應停止作業的進程，發言人瓦希德奧馬爾在喀布爾對記者說。
President Hamid Karzai has said repeatedly in recent months that these companies undermine government security forces, creating a parallel security structure. Contractors perform duties ranging from guarding supply convoys to personal security details for diplomats and businessmen.
總統哈米德卡爾扎伊在最近幾個月曾多次表示，這些公司破壞政府安全部隊，建立一個平行的安全結構。合約商履行職責從護衛車隊供應至外交官和商人的個人安全詳情。
The imminent decree expedites action that Karzai had promised in his inauguration speech in November, when he said he wanted to close down both foreign and domestic security contractors within two years.
"Within four months, all private security companies will be disbanded," Omar said, but declined to go into detail before the decree is released
