28 June 2010 - In 1997/98 I worked in Afghanistan, and often went to Oruzgan. Who would have known that Dutch military forces would set up their regimen in Tarin Kowt - a place I have been many, many times - about 10 years later? It is rough terrain and the military would probably describe this area as "hostile environment". I loved my time there, and I remember the lively bazar, the mud houses, the poppy fields and the clear starry nights. I like this picture by Christopher Sneed, because I wonder what is going on? The men belong obviously to opposite parties, but they feel at ease with the situation. What is being said here? Are they negotiating? Will the Afghans be considered traitors?.Could these men kill each other?
