KABUL

|
|
A
look at Kabul, ISAF Head Quarters, some images |
|
|
|
Around
the base no problem, but sometimes it's better not to show you make
pictures |
|
|
|
Though
moments of quitness, mostly there is always some action everywhere |
|
But
no problem visiting the local markets with small stands selling all kinds
of everything |
|
No,
still not like our infrastructure, but the first improvements show up,
like this 'highway' |
|
|
|
Children
run risks because of verge-bombs, and who can tell what's under these
burka's ?..... |
|
|
|
That's
why armoured cars are needed, and still it remains a risk driving in open
territory |
|
But
daily life goes on at the Qualaa's (farms) , war or no war |
|
|
|
Time
for a nice picture, and serious matters also proceed, like reconstructing
buildings... |
|
...
later on the locals will return to their houses when checked and repaired |
|
Some
old 'Stalin-Organs'from the time Russia invaded Afghanistan |
|
KANDAHAR
ENVIRONMENT |
|
|
|
Let's
have a look at the Kandahar environment, the city, and Forward Operating
Base Zari Panijway
|
|
|
|
From
Zari, as well as out of this US Army Blackhawk you get a good overview of
what happens
|
|
|
|
Reconstruction,
like this stone - oven, and tree-projects
|
|
|
|
Hard
to see, but Taliban can be everywhere in caves and holes
|
|
|
|
Here
some 'rich' qualaa's (farms) concerning the size of them.
|
|
|
|
On
Kandahar Airforce base (KAF) we find patrols, and tents to work and sleep
in
|
|
|
|
Here
the canadian part, and beneath the civil side of Kandahar International
Airport
|
|
|
|
Above
and below you can see the tree-projects, in 2007 a 100.000 trees were
planted...
|
|
...
under supervision of the Dutch Foreign Affairs. Also in 2008 a
100.000 trees were planted
|
The
policy is: Saffron instead of 'Red Poppy' (raw material for hard-drugs)
|
Economy
in Afghanistan is rising (!) pity we don't read that in the news.... but
it does !
