About this deal

Presumably they expect this will form part of a long-term deal with western powers over the country’s frozen financial assets. And, of course, the vast majority of people who were just trying to live there in peace had to flee and had nothing to do with it but lost a lot of their belongings in the fire. What actually happened then when you paid the smuggler and went down to the shoreline of Turkey to try and get to Greece? This book is Aikins’s profound act of love — for Omar, for their travel companions and for the beleaguered people of Afghanistan, now irrevocably scattered around the world. It’s hard to wrap your mind around 84 million people, roughly the combined populations of Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania, the equivalent of 1 in every 95 people on this planet.

You know, it's gotten such criticism and you must know countless Afghans whose lives were turned upside down or, in some cases, lost in the course of all this. AIKINS: They had their cellphones out and were showing me pictures of the children they said had died in the strike. We don't really know where we're going, but it's pretty clear we don't have control of the situation anymore. And, of course, if something really serious did happen, you know, I was going to do everything I could to help him.In cities such as Kabul, Herat and Bamyan, you feel a profound sense of shame when you see the after-effects of the west’s abandonment of Afghanistan: the long queues for food; the people persecuted and sometimes killed for trying to defend the freedoms they have gained in the past 20 years. I mean, huge numbers of refugees from Syria and Afghanistan all headed to Europe and other places, too.

My own seat might be taken by someone who planned to cross the water in the little rubber boats that departed from Turkey to Europe. Afghan youth from Kunduz bathe while waiting with other recently arrived migrants to board a ferry to Athens from Mytilene, Greece on October 16, 2015.I think that would have been a mistake, would have been trying the same thing that's failed already once.
