Developments in Afghanistan are a mystery. Most of the time we are presented with the Chief Karzi the dandy. You would be forgiven for thinking that he is the only Afghan show in town. The rest of the so called government we hardly hear anything of. It as if Karzai is the most powerful native figure in Afghanistan. We hear little or nothing about these great victorious armies that crushed the Taliban. Genreal Dostun has become virtually invisible.
We are not informed as to what is happening in the different parts of Afghanistan -such as Herat. We are informed of the character of the relations between the different armies and factions. We do not hear of any funerals of those that were Taliban soldiers. In short the bourgeois media is highlighting its bankruptcy as a provider of information. We just have not got a clue as to what is going on in Afghanistan. Pakistan is little better. We do not know what the real response of the Pahstuns are to the new governmnent.
