On patrol with French forces - 03 Apr 09

The Surubi area, just a few hours drive south of the Afghan capital, forms a key transit route for Taliban fighters as they move between Pakistan and Kabul.

Its hills are dotted with soldiers backed by unmanned drones, while its residents still remain without many basic needs.

Al Jazeera's Hamish Macdonald went on patrol with the French first infantry in the area. Watch here to see what he discovered.

Thank God that I won't have to your ramblings on Aljazeera anymore. Your heart must be broken since they have disabled the comments section.

Time for you to get a real life.
