Afghanistan by Christoph Bangert (laif)
"2.8% - was the percentage of the overall news coverage in the United States that was devoted to the war in Afghanistan in 2010, the deadliest year of the conflict, according to a study by the Pew Research Center. In the same year the Afghan war passed the Vietnam war in being the longest conflict that the U.S has been fighting in during it's entire history. I have been working in Afghanistan on assignment for the New York Timnes as well as independently since 2004." (Christoph Bangert)

AFGHANISTAN KONFLIKT BY CHRISTOPH BANGERT
A severely injured Afghan employee of a private security company called Compass was dropped off at the front gate of FOB Hawz-e-Madad. American Medics are attending the man who was injured when the Nato supply convoy he was protecting was ambushed by the Taliban. Zhari District, just west of Kandahar City, is the true heartland of the Taliban. It was here, in a small village called Sangisar, the home of Mullah Omar, where the Taliban were founded in 1994 and from where the movement started its bloody campaign against warlords who had turned Afghanistan into a country fractured into local thiefdoms and plagued by civil war and corruption. The first Taliban checkpoint was set up in Howz-e-Madad, where there is an American Forward Operating Base (FOB) of the same name located now. From Sangisar and Howz-e-Madad the Taliban first captured Highway 1, then Kandahar City and later Kabul and almost the entire country of Afghanistan. Today the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Ariborne Division of the US Army is trying to fight the Taliban in this area while winning over the local civilian population, creating a local government structure and training the Afghan National Army all at the same time. The Americans seem far away from acchieving any of these ambitious goals, as local support for the Taliban (most fighters are thought to be from the area) is strong and most of Zhari province remains under Taliban control and virtual no go areas for the foreign troops. The small American Military outpost of Lakokhel is located only three Kilometers from Sangisar, Mullah Omar's village, but it has been years since any ISAF soldier has dared to set foot there. Along with the bordering Arghandab and Panjwai Districts, Zhari District remains the most fought over terrain in Afghanistan.
