Going Nowhere - Afghanistan
|
January 2008
While the world has focused on Iraq, the situation in Afghanistan has slowly deteriorated. As this embed report reveals, soldiers constantly come under attack.
"We take direct fire every day but our story always gets put on the backburner to Iraq", states Sgt Collins. "I know most of the soldiers feel forgotten". Charlie Company is tasked with stopping the flow of insurgents into Afghanistan. But without the support of locals, it's a virtually impossible task. |

Afghanistan: Kabul Football Club
|
See full film here:
http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=1917
Under the Taliban, Kabul's football stadium was a place of fear and execution. Football was discouraged and spectators banned from cheering. But through all the years of oppression, love of the beautiful game remained. Now, in a symbol of the country's rebirth, Afghanistan is rebuilding its national team. We follow football legend Ali Askar Lali as he returns from exile in Germany to select and train the new players. Working in farcical conditions, he tries to prepare the men for their first symbolic international match. Will the team be ready? And do they stand any chance of success? |

Once Upon a Time - Afghanistan
|
Nov 2001
As the future of Afghanistan hangs in the balance, we look back on the country's past and ask where its future lies?
The rugged terrain of Afghanistan has often found itself at the centre of some of the world's major conflicts. The pictures on our television screens show a country virtually destroyed by war. Yet it wasn't always so: film footage from the 1970s paints a very different picture, of an open and modern society. The capital Kabul buzzes with life, its streets filled with cars, bicycles and pedestrians. At this time, Kabul was famed as an exotic stop-off point on the hippy trail between Europe and India. "That was a golden period for the Afghans," reminisces Dr Ahmed Abdul Javid, former Chancellor of Kabul University. Until the Taliban enforced an Islamic year zero in 1996, Afghanistan was a relatively liberal Place. Farah Hawad, a female journalist who left Kabul for Britain in 1994, describes the country's progressive attitude towards women back then: "Afghanistan was the first Asian country that had women in parliament." But even during this so-called golden era, tensions existed between the country's different ethnic factions, which finally ignited after the Soviet defeat. The task of establishing a lasting peace between these various ethnic groups is likely to be a long and complex one. If Afghanistan is finally freed from the foreign intervention that has dogged it for so long, perhaps new kind of society will finally be able to flourish in this ruined land. |

Video clip from 9/11: Press For Truth. This features Seymour Hersh discussing in mainstream television news appearances how (Bush and heads of) the U.S. Military purposely let Osama Bin Laden escape at Tora Bora, Afghanistan, and flee across the border into Pakistan. And how they purposely let thousands of other Al 'Qaeda fighters, and possibly some of Osama Bin Laden's immediate family members be airlifted through a secure air corridor from Konduz, Afghanistan to Pakistan.
Since YouTube has now made it impossible to include web addresses in Comments as well as Descriptions, to watch the ful version of 9/11: Press For Truth, go to Google; type Google Video in the search bar; when in the Google Video site, in the Google Video search bar type 9/11 Press For Truth and choose one of the videos that has the image of a red Rose beside the title. You'll see what I mean. It's easy. |
