Афганский дневник

I ended up in Afghanistan at the end of October 2001 with a French film crew, a month after the assassination of the leader of the Northern Alliance Massoud and the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York. At that time, there was no international peacekeeping force in Afghanistan, and Kabul, like most of the country, was under the rule of the Taliban. The Northern Alliance troops controlled only a small area in northern Afghanistan and the narrow Panjshir Gorge. The idea to keep a diary and describe everything that happened to us, and most importantly, to talk about how people live in this wounded, once blooming country, came to my mind on the second day of my stay in Afghanistan, when I realized that it was not easy ended up in a completely different country, but traveled in time and ended up in the Middle Ages without light and water, but with jeeps and toyotas, as well as tanks, cannons and Kalashnikov assault rifles. Twenty years have passed, but little has changed in the country. Only this time the Taliban took Kabul.
