| PHOTOGRAPHIC IMPRESSION 4 OF AFGHANISTAN: | ||
| KABUL HQ | ||
|
|
||
| PII | ||
 |
 |
|
| 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 ! | ||
| ( Margreet thanks for showing me around and all your help ! ) | ||
