| Press visit januari 2008 in Afghanistan | ||

We offer this extended impression which shows environment, facts, pictures that you don't see at home. How the men and women work on peace and development in Afghanistan. Impressions about equipment, circumstances, education, reconstructtion, projects and not in the last place the fact that young people gave their lives for other people's freedom. It will be a matter of generations , let us hope for the Afghan people , and for all 'ours' who lost their lives that once peace and understanding will be achieved to develop this in fact unique and beautiful rough country so the inhabitants can live a life of peace, working on their own future. The
professionals that serve(d) in Afghanistan will
certainly recognise themselves, their work and missions. See it as a tribute to all
involved, to try and stop this Militant Opposing Forces (Taliban) madness
to obstruct peace, safety and development of an entire nation by using
terror and oppression, death and deprave by hanging women, bombing women
and children on markets, in busses, disrupt public and personal life, all
by people who abuse their religion in their own name and interpretation.
Such facts cannot be tolerated by free democratic nations who become
threatened themselves in their existance by actions such as 9-11 . |
