Kabul after the war faces traffic chaos - 24 Jun 08

Al Jazeera's Dan Nolan reports on the new war being faced in Afghanistan.

Following the decades of war that have taken their toll on the Afghan capital, Kabul, and there is still not much in the way of new infrastructure.

However the city is still facing a very modern problem: traffic chaos.

Despite a big increase in the number of cars on the streets, the city has only one set of traffic lights.

soviet times good days. no drug warlords no fucking talib or mulas, a pure city!

[Inkan1969]

No. It would've been better if the U.S. and others had stayed involved in Afghanistan right after the Soviet pullout, instead of just letting everything fall apart.

@Inkan1969 I agree 100%. I've served in the Kabul area of Afghanistan. I also feel that America should have stayed involved with Afghanistan after the war with the Soviets. I'm not gonna pretend to revise history and say that had America stayed, that the Talibs and UBL wouldn't have been an issue. I am saying that we should have stayed and helped Afghanistan and its infrastructure. Afganistan is incredibly beautiful, yet incredibly beat up and run down. God bless Afghanistan. She needs it.
