These fighters have fought roughest battle of history. Against all odds, against the mighty super power, once again sending a message that afghans will never surrender to any invaders.
excellent analysis of intelligence officer. its an local boys, Afghanistan have 5000 year history fighting with occupational forces. they never surrender.
do not argue with Pakistanis fine, but you must improve your arguments. Taliban or Pashtun majority of Afghanistan are a political reality, no government can sustain without their participation. puppet government like Karzai or ashraf ghani hardly control few area of Kabul only. now Taliban control more area than 2001. America totally defeated, just face saving.
daffodil / I see how brainwashed you are. There was nothing good in Soviet invasion of a foreign country. Soviet schools teach Atheism, and Darwinism, they teach women not to wear Hijab, they teach Communism and etc. Totally against the teachings of İslam. Soviet troops in Afganistan were Devil's troops
Good film. I like Nagieb Khaja's work. He is very professional and seems to do his best to tell the story from all sides accurately. I hope Al Jazeera will continue to support him and other reporters like him. Truth and objectivity are sometimes difficult to find, especially in situations where people have very strong feelings.
"something went wrong, we are now imprisoned by the taliban" wow, suddenly it feels like forgetting to turn on my alarm this morning seems less of an issue.
Just another reason military intervention is a fool's errand for these rich nations. And if you ever wondered why so many Americans love their 2nd Ammendment, this is why. Even with small arms, a population can mount an effective resistance to even the most powerful military and police states. You can drop bombs, drone strike and mortar until the cows come home - if a population refuses to be pacified and has access to small arms, then time is on the side of the insurgents, particularly if they're native. Powerful governments never seem to learn this lesson though.
helmand has been the scene for heavy AMERICAN AIR BOMBARDEMENTS for 2 years now. whenever the taliban advanced, the kabul army called for american air support, which then heavily and blindely bombed alleged taliban positions, which caused always enormous civillian sufferings. without the american air support, the taliban would have captured helmand easily within few days. this docu fails to mention the american involvement at all. pathetic
its our country u are the pakistan puppet taliban always kill civilians always civillian car is blasting by their mines but u pakistani pork not seeing the killing of innocent afghan
hey you slaveof the american invaders: i am NOT a "pakistani". lol, is this the logic of the stooges of the american onvaders?? "everybody who is neutral and justifiedly praises the taliban, is automatically a pakistani"??? lol, the more such pro-war people like you speak, the more its obvious that the taliban are on the right side. (and btw: the taliban are a local native resistance movement (nothing to do with pakistan you brainwashed sheep) who fight against american invaders and their stooges,not against civillians. thats prais-worthy. live with it)
u r big dog of US than us u can,t see ground i m fghan i see how those taliban who fight in my area are to pakistan in winter US is not in combat role now taliban are fighting with ANA every day we losses dozens life we not support US and not support war who r u why u want war for us why u want death for us do u hav any mercy r u human
Shame, seems like such a beautiful country. I feel like if only foreign nations would stop getting involved in these conflicts, things will sort themselves out, one way or another. The citizens of these countries are the only solution to their own problems, not foreign intervention.
unfortunately, I suffer from the propaganda in the country where I live so I do not feel I know the truth about the Taliban. I can say this: I like the way they dress, quite distinguished looking and they invoke a mystery in which my nationality will not allow me to meet as friends. We miss out so much in culture, food, and human understanding. It makes me sad.
i think anyone with intelligence(common sense)knew in their heart that afghanistan would be ruled by men with turbans and beards shortly after the us and co left.soon it will just remain to be seen how extreme they take it.even at their worst i think the over all death toll will be much lower,and at the end of the day it is their country and their buisness.good luck to the innocents amongst it.
AND WHO IS WINNING THE WAR??? AFGANS! AFGHANISTAN WHO'S NEVER LOST THE WAR AND THEY NEVER WILL INSHALLAH!! HOW CAN YOU FIGHT THE MAN WHO WONTS TO DAI! THEY DREAMING TO KILL OR BE KILLED!!! WHAT IS YOUR DREAMS? TO SERVAIVE AND GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY'S!!! THIS IS WAY YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT THEM.
dont need bravery to interview the taliban. interviewers are regarded as guests. islamic/afghan tribal culture produces this very important rule: guests, opressed, and even hostile combatants who seek hospitallity or protection,must be protected at all costs. in afghan tribal codex its called "nanawatay"" (protection of every opressed, every guest and everyone who asks for protection even if they are hostile enemies fighters). and even more important, God commands the muslims in the Quran: "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know." surah 9 verse 6
I thought that the Taliban had sneaky ways around the vows n culture of Afghanistan and surrounding area!.Cool that they adhere to Allah's words.I wish I could see Afghanistan or Bactria!It's pretty as ever.As a westerner its unlikely I'll ever be able to travel there safely.
The Afghan people have a lot going for them..they have natural resources..they are a proud people with a diverse lineage. But, it's religion that is holding them back because they distrust outsiders and refuse education. It's a shame.
Published on Oct 19, 2015 Afghanistan is the world’s biggest exporter of black-market opium from which heroin is made. It’s a multi-billion dollar business, responsible for around a hundred thousand deaths every year and it’s a major source of income for terrorists. RT Doc travelled to the poppy fields where death is harvested to find out why no one can put a stop to this deadly trade. When it comes to heroin, a non-intervention policy is still going strong in Afghanistan where over 90% of the world’s black market opium is produced. Most finds its way onto the international drug market and the profits fund organized crime and terrorist groups like ISIS, which is growing in strength here. The dealers and manufacturers aren’t hard to find: they live in luxurious houses, have fields blooming with poppies and sell their narcotic wares in broad daylight. Even so, they still manage to evade arrest. Poppy fields are destroyed and drugs seized but it’s only ever the middle men who are punished, not the drug lords. There’s been a NATO military presence in the country for 14 years now but still, drugs production continues to grow. Local people suffer from the drug business too, around 18% of the capital’s population are drug addicts. The places where drugs are sold and used are well known but the police are powerless to act. Mafia wars drive civilians from their land in the southern regions, forcing them into refugee camps in their own country. Opium growers get rich by plunging fellow citizens into the depths of misery. RT Doc’s investigative team visited Afghanistan to document the Police’s losing battle against opium producers and its effect on the rest of the country. They talk to police officers, drug users and opium growers in search of a fuller picture and to ask why this massive and life-destroying industry continues to flourish.
Why can't they make two nations if nothing is going to be right.?? Or run a democracy properly with half of the people in parliament from taliban and half from Afghanistan side.
if you dont know nothing than its better to keep quiet.what do you mean by taliban and afghanistan? afghanistan is a country and taliban is one political group among a dozen wich includes people like some other groups from all parts of afghanistan.its not like kashmir are asam are Tibet etc if you get me
Of course AJ is happy to report that Helmand province has fallen to their beloved Taliban, after all, Qatar is the country that is host to a Taliban embassy! Taliban frequently visit Qatar not only for shopping, but also to register the birth of their children, all via Pakistan! So yes, good times for the Taliban, Pakistanis and the Qataris as Afghanistan is destabilized even further.. www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-23007401
More than 5000 terrorists you say? But when India says there are terrorists in Pakistan, the Pakistani govt. says that there are NO terrorists in Pakistan. Then from where did the Pak army kill 5000 terrorists ???
+Parikshit Bhujbal there is a huge gap b/w a terrorist and freedom fighter..... You called freedom fighter a terrorist..... so there is no such terrorist in pak.... on the other hand those that are killer of humanity are terrorist like Taliban's, Alqaeeda, IS etc.... there are sleeper cells in FATA which now we demolished.......... tribune.com.pk/story/1123356/dg-ispr-addresses-press-conference-afghanistan-pakistan-border-clashes/
You said 'You called freedom fighter a terrorist..... so there is no such terrorist in pak' and i agree with you that there are no such terrorists in pak, i agree they are not terrorists, because they are like you said FREEDOM FIGHTERS! They are freedom fighters fighting against the oppressive regime of the Pak govt. And as they are freedom fighters, the killing of innocent children and women and even that of soldiers of the pak army is totally justified, because in your own words you said there are NO terrorists in pakistan.
+Parikshit Bhujbal those that are killer of humanity are terrorists...... In kashmir there are freedom movements why you don't gave right to kashmiri people..... Pakistan is always ready for holding plebiscite in kashmir valley but when ever kashmir talks begin your govt. took the issue of terrorism in b/w as a cover to avoid kashmir talks bcz they know if ever plebiscite happened they will lose remaining kashmir
Haha love his acting about being kidnapped. Taliban will never harm aljazeera reporter after all Qatar is the main sponsor of Taliban. And the only country where Taliban have embassy is Qatar.
Actually the ANA guy shooting is Pashtun and the guy who asks him to be careful with civilians is not! Shows that this is not a conflict of Pashtuns vs Non-Pashtuns. It's illiterate madrassa brainwashed fools vs Afghan Army. Long live ANSF

It's Sad, The Government and Taliban should live in peace
the taliban are the real government. the "official government" are only american puppets
Nevertheless i am against shedding blood, it's afghans killing afghans at the end of the day
but only when foreign forces invaded. when afghans were amongst their own, they did not have these problems
