This blog aims to highlight issues and information that don't always make it into the mainstream media. Recognising that comment is cheap, wherever possible it will link you directly to documents and sources that are mentioned in the text.
I realised some time ago that it was impossible to write about Afghanistan without writing about Pakistan and other neighbouring countries. With that in mind, the reader will come across articles that, while not specifically about Afghanistan, in some way shed light on the conflict.
Great interview by Newsweek's Sami Yousafzai and Ron Moreau with Agha Jan Motasim, former head of the Taliban's Quetta Shura Committee until last summer, when he was gunned down in a Karachi street by hardline opponents within the organisation.
