  • New Power Line Lights Up Afghan Capital | Bruce Pannier, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty 29.05.09: "The lights are on again in Kabul. And that?s no small change.For years, residents of the Afghan capital endured shortages of electricity, with power sometimes rationed to only a couple of hours a day. But thanks to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Afghanistan?s neighbor Uzbekistan, things are now looking a little brighter. A new 442-kilometer Uzbekistan-Kab ul power transmission line, carrying 150 megawatts (MW) of electricity, or half of Kabul?s electricity needs, started working on May 18."
  • Afghanistan conflict difficult for embedded reporter to cover: Well the security situation in Afghanistan is such that movement around the country is very, very difficult. Movement on the road is almost impossible in private vehicles for instance. So you need to move around in the air. And all of the air is obviously governed by military forces there. And to visit any of the military facilities obviously you need to be going there with their cooperation. So being embedded theoretically, there were restrictions on your reporting in a sense that they the military authorities were able to vet some of it, but in practice they never do. They understand the ramifications of doing that. So it means that you are inside their security protection, you're often inside their bases, and you are technically subject to some censorship but in practice I certainly didn't experience that.
