Visiting The World's Most Dangerous Country 🇦🇫
Рет қаралды 7,228,925
Жыл бұрын🇦🇫 What do you think of when you hear the word 'Afghanistan'? Probably not very good things and that isn't surprising. Afghanistan seems to have been in a perpetual state of war since recorded history began. But with the new government in place and the country supposedly somewhat safer now than at any time in the last 20 years I decided to go and investigate the mysterious landlocked country for myself to see how life was progressing. It was quite the adventure. Welcome to Taliban Land...
Please check out Backpacker Ben's KZfaq channel for his Afghan videos.

What Bald does so well is assimilate quickly with the people and let them know he's on their side. A few "as salam alaykum"s go a long way in this part of the world. I'm also very impressed with Bald's knowledge/research in the places he visits. A beautiful country but it's very sad seeing the poverty and lack of freedom.

Bald thank you for giving me renewed hope. Many years ago I was unable to save the life of a young man who was a casualty of the Camp Chapman suicide attack. His injuries were beyond my capabilities and he passed away that night as I sat holding his hand. I think about him a lot, and about his mother and family. One day I dream of returning to that beautiful country to find his mother and tell her that he was not alone when he died.

He was a really nice man that showed me & my sisters a card trick and gave my parents an afghan rug. Your videos reminded me of him and whilst I could see your tension, in general it can be seen that the afghan people are a good and kind people trapped in a cycle of disharmony,

It's the USSR not Russia, the ruling Afghanistan communist party govt. had sought the help of USSR to counter the religious parties and groups who want Afghanistan to turn into Sharia law driven Islamic country. West,USA and Pakistan along with the Saudis had started to support the Muslim religious fanatic figures and established them as Mujahideen i.e. religious warriors fighting against non believers. Foreign resistant groups like Laden's Al Qaeda joined them during the 1980s. After the Soviet departure one of a strong ultra religious group out of these Islamic Mujahideen had turned into Taliban and waged war against westranisation as it wants Sharia based society. Progressive and modern elements of Afghan society were killed by US & westerns themselves under the guise of supporting freedom fighters fighting against invaders.
