A journey through the parts of Afghanistan that don't normally feature in news coverage to meet some amazing people and see fascinating places. Lyse Doucet uses her many years experience in Afghanistan to show a different side of a country which has been at war for 30 years.
Once a vital piece of the hippy trail, well disposed, wonderful Afghanistan has unfortunately been crushed by years of war and disregard. Home to ample farmland and the rough Hindu Kush mountain range, explorers desired the acceptable mountain air and to see attractions like the monster Buddha statues of Bamiyan. Then again, the statues and numerous different landmarks were wrecked under the cataclysmic rule of the Taliban, a gathering of Islamic aggressors. - See more at: http://www.helpskhmers.com/afghanistan-travel-guide/#sthash.3QZhOt6c.dpuf Afghanistan Travel Guide, World Travel Guides, SCC Education Kampong Thom Cambodia,

The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) in Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It divides the valley of the Amu Darya (the ancient Oxus River) to the north from the Indus River valley to the south. To the east the Hindu Kush buttresses the Pamir range near the point where the borders of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, after which it runs southwest through Pakistan and into Afghanistan, finally merging into minor ranges in western Afghanistan. The mountain range separates Central Asia from South Asia.

Canada's Only Independently funded and filmed documentary on our mission in Afghanistan. http://www.wagingpeacefilm.com PLEASE SHARE! Follows Canadian Richard Fitoussi on a personal quest into the fiercest parts of Afghanistan's war-torn southern frontier to learn why Canadian soldiers are dying in a mission that has sparked more controversy than any other military intervention in Canadian history. Embedded with the Canadian military alongside established war correspondents. Fitoussi sees for himself what is at stake for the Afghan people and the Canadians who serve in our name. As his journey unfolds, Fitoussi is faced with the realites of modern day peacekeeping, and tries to distinguish between the reality on the ground and the rhetoric of the U.S. led "war on terror". In the end he witnesses the ultimate sacrifice of young Canadians in a journey that nearly costs him his life.
A portrait of U.S. Troops inaction in the very early days of the war in Afghanistan. Specific attention in this series is on U.S. Special Forces.
To Kill A Sparrow - "I will accept you under one condition: Kill your son." Subscribe to Journeyman for news and science reports every weekday: htpp://youtube.com/journeymanpictures For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=68100 Despite the Taliban regime's ouster in Afghanistan more than a decade ago, oppressive tribal traditions remain more powerful than law, leaving thousands of young Afghan women imprisoned or killed for 'moral crimes'. When Soheila was 5 years old, she was given away in marriage to an old man as compensation for her older brother's crime: stealing the man's third wife. After years of abuse in the marriage, "I ran away with the man I love. When my father found me, he put me in prison. My son was born here in prison", explains Soheila. In 2009 President Karzai passed a law criminalising 23 acts of abuse towards women - including forced marriage. But it has rarely been enforced. "Unfortunately in Afghanistan, as a result of 30 years of war, cultural practices have more power than the law", says Soheila's warden. "We are not afraid of killing her", insists her brother. Soheila’s lover is serving a voluntary six-year sentence; a desperate bid to make peace with her father. "If there were justice they would arrest her father, the man who gave his daughter away in an exchange! There is no law - in the Koran or anywhere else - that says he can do that."

Afghanistan is a country devastated by the horrors of war, crime, violence and poverty. It is also a country blighted with the cultivation and supply of opium. Although it is estimated that 95% of all heroin on the streets of the UK & Europe comes from Afghanistan, few talk of the drugs that stay within the country and the devastating effects it is having on its children - the youth & future of Afghanistan. After the war on Terror and the fall of the Taliban, what future is there for the next generation? Jabar and Zahir are two 15 year old friends, whose own sisters, mothers and fathers are also addicted to heroin and opium. "Addicted in Afghanistan" is an intimate and uncompromising portrayal, filmed over a year, of the day to day struggles of a new generation of children addicted to heroin, trying to find their way in the new Afghanistan.

No one told them to do it. People just started showing up in small groups, some saluting, others draping the Canadian flag over the edge of a bridge. Lining the highway to welcome home fallen soldiers grew organically into a bittersweet tradition in the last decade as more than 150 Canadian casualties were flown home from Afghanistan and driven to their final resting place. When Canada completed its deployment earlier this year, it might have spelled the end of this demonstration of solidarity with those killed in a far away land. But on Friday thousands descended on the highway once more, this time for a soldier who died on home soil. The body of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was gunned down Wednesday while on sentry duty in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, took that journey Friday and received the same honour. Thousands lined bridges from Ottawa to Hamilton in recognition of Cirillo’s sacrifice.

Yahoo Daily News 2015-03-31Afghanistan i/æfˈɡænɨstæn/ (Persian/Pashto: افغانستان, Afġānistān), officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located in the centre of Asia, forming part of South Asia, Central Asia, and Greater Middle East, it is also considered to be part of a broader West Asia. With a population of about 29 million, it has an area of 647,500 km2 (250,001 sq mi), making it the 42nd most populous and 41st largest nation in the world. It is bordered by Pakistan in the south and the east, Iran in the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, and China in the far northeast.
Afghanistan has been an ancient focal point of the Silk Road and human migration. Archaeologists have found evidence of human habitation from as far back as 50,000 BC. Urban civilization may have begun in the area as early as 3,000 to 2,000 BC. Sitting at an important geostrategic location that connects the Middle East with Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, the land has been home to various peoples through the ages and witnessed many military campaigns, notably by Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and in modern era Western forces. The land also served as a source from which the Greco-Bactrians, Kushans, Saffarids, Ghaznavids, Ghorids, Timurids, Mughals and many others have risen to form major empires.
