Dangerous Cities: Kabul - Poverty, Gangs And The Taliban | Free Documentary
Dangerous Cities - Lagos: https://youtu.be/PO_MGSjhVMs
Kabul is a city like no other. The population has grown from 600,000 to 6 million in only twenty years. As the city explodes, houses are being built at higher and higher altitudes, whilst refugee camps extend over kilometres. The city is home to Tajiks, Pashtuns, Chinese, Indians, Sikhs, Mongolians, Greeks, Indo-Iranians and more. Although diversity is rising, social cohesion is poor. Business, traffic, corruption, drugs, attacks, poverty, war and violence are all present.
The influx of refugees and the lack of work is pushing the population towards crime. The cultivation of opium is on the rise. It is a failure for the Western armed forces stationed in the country, where there have never been so many hectares dedicated to producing opium, now over 3 million. The black market of drugs and related criminal activity represents around 52% of the country’s GNP.
Today, over ten years since the Westerners first arrived, nothing has changed. Everything is getting worse for the inhabitants as violence, rape, poverty, corruption and abductions remain rife. The Taliban are at the gates of the capital and are waiting for the right moment to take the city. They are increasing their attacks while they wait. Kabul is a city living on borrowed time.
