Afghanistan 1984 Scenes from a secret war pt 2/4

In 1984, reporter Hilda Bryant and photographer Richard Pauli
traveled to the Northwest Frontier Provinces of Pakistan - to Peshawar and then to Parachinar and then Teri Mangal...Then marching with the Mujahideen in the Jagjit province of Afghanistan.

Early in 1984, Sony Corp released a one-piece broadcast betacam camera, it was a new product that was still untested. They loaned Pauli this camera and donated the tape for coverage of a small aspect of that war during the Soviet occupation. Bryant and Pauli were probably the first compact broadcast camera and reporter to enter Afghanistan.

This brief documentary won an Emmy for investigative journalism in 1984 Seattle.

@behrozerd Yes we do! There are MANY of us that see the sick game exactly for what it is, a PROFIT making venture by the criminal World Banker syndicate. It's time now for Humanity to band together, & fight back though.

So if someone shelled your town, blew up your church, only tractor, cow, and almost killed your wife and family, wouldn't you grab the nearest AK and be willing to kill the people who did it?

@sass225 So before 1991 there was no taliban organization.al-Qaeda founded by Osama bin Laden sometime between August 1988and late 1989. It operates as a network comprising both a multinational, stateless army and a radical Sunni Muslim movement calling for global Jihad.The soveit war was 79-89 so these uneducated morons claiming the cia created al-qeda are full of it.

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar received operational, financial and military support from Pakistan.Saudi Arabia and Iran – as competitors for regional hegemony – supported Afghan militias hostile towards each other. In 1991, the Taliban (a movement originating from Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-run religious schools for Afghan refugees in Pakistan) also developed in Afghanistan as a politico-religious force. Mullah Omar started his movement with fewer than 50 armed madrassah students in his hometown of Kandahar.

you got to learn a lot.

All of the terrorists in afghanistan are fighting drug lords, who don't like when foreigners come into mess up their THEOCRACY.

the communists gave them equitable distribution of wealth by giving free land to till. these goons said, it is the will of allah for some to remain poor and others to remain rich. they rejected the rational ideology. took up weapons and tilled the land to raise opium. very rational thinking by these goons.
