smudges with lions of the what's your story. ready i mean, like numbers, women, especially victims of vine and seen a lot of them take part and send us your story. the chain always to understand this new culture. so you are not the visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information with mr. did have the news. aisha coming up to date of gone is thought one. yeah. and for us, but if to pull out you and is wanting a fireman and asking for money to support of cons, i correspondence tells us what she saw in the country that's facing multiple tragedies at $1.00 gold plus in lanka as well,

where hunger is affecting those other countries, he cannot make prices. ah, i'm british manage. you're welcome to dig up the news. a shark ladder could join us one year since the last us soldier withdrew from granite on the un humanitarian chief has urged. don't us to provide $770000000.00 in assistance for of cons. addressing the security council on monday, martin griffith warned that some 6000000 people were at risk of famine. with winter approaching, he went on to explain the breath of crises facing of guns today. more than half of the population of some 24000000 people need humanitarian assistance. and an estimated 3000000 children are acutely malnourished. they include over 1000000 children,

estimated to be suffering from the most severe life threatening form of malnutrition . without specialized treatment. these children could die. i've got a son who's also witnessed unprecedented levels of internal displacement and population movement. some 5800000 people remain in protracted internal displacement requiring long term solutions that these are the figures, mr. president and they're devastating. and frankly, that difficult to comprehend, we worry that they will soon become worse. the short extent of these volumes was difficult to estimate a year back when the u. s. completed its military, bullard, from the country up to nearly 2 decades there. that bullet immortalized by this picture behind me of the last you are a soldier, stepping on to a military transport to leave kabul airport. the very next day members and thought about entered cobble airport withdrawing

u. s. troops left behind equipment and damaged oh craft. so the poly bob couldn't use them, but that didn't matter much to militant forms that have claimed a bigger prize for your country itself. the doubles had of research and investigations under bertelsmann was recently in madison for close to 3 weeks, joined me in the studio. now sandra, welcome one years. it's a thought avante garde of agronomist on and also the same month times as the u. s. withdrawal. what was the overarching mood that you felt in of by the sun when you're there? it really depends on who you ask if you are in cobble in the capital and most of the people i met there. they felt defeated and away they felt deserted, betrayed by the international community. but if you travel to the countryside, which we did, for instance, we visited one that province which saw a lot of intense fighting, especially in the past decade, between an american and african forces on the one site and taliban forces on the

other. such a speak to people there, especially women. they told me, look, there is peace now and we can go about things we can carry on living in normal life, like other people do with they were like, constantly scared and being afraid of drones strike air strikes, night rates and all that is gone now. but the over arching thing that everybody has to go through is that intense economic crisis that afghanistan is facing ever since the international troops left to and in the country. saul 8 cut bags of frozen assets abroad. and, and yeah, the banking system really collapsed and they're free of you and the you and your mother. did you boss for 770000000 dollars? have people in of runners and begun to resent the worst for a bending, the, abandoning them as it were, or is the were still being able to help. i mean, the international community, namely the weight,

foot proven does help. and about half the population is in dire need of food 8 and, and the world food program has laid out a huge program to 8 people with the wheat flour with lentils, with cooking oil, with basic essentials. but of course, if so many people are in need, it's never really enough. and also the money that the united nations are asking for is not provided because we have other intense crises in the word of goddess van is not the only one. so yes, there is a sense of abandonment and i can so clearly remember as we're driving through town where figures became faced as people knocking at the windows of our cars, begging especially children and women. we drove past bakeries in the evening. this almost this ritual of women assembling as silently sitting in front of the bakeries hoping for a loaf of bread that can then take home. and that re, has an impact on us would drive through town. it's a, it's

a common feature these days. and also what was new to me, i mean there were always drug addicts in cowboy at a very particular spot. but now you can seen them almost anywhere really desperate, many male and squatting in the streets and really being spaced out. and a lot of them wearing suits i think these are signs of desperation. just go to a point that you made about to renew it. but the province of the woman told you that things are saved. now. i mean, this is something that i live on had promised that journal. we will make things a safe for them. there are other promises of you haven't kept such as a line woman to work. what about verbal do? were will do women? several, do people say good. so parliament, again, it depends on who you are. i would say the majority does not. i mean, even the one woman that we spoke to, we spent a lot of time with her, a former member of parliament actually and who is now and working for the taliban as a giant ecologist. and she said, look, you guys in the west, you occupied our country,

especially addressing the us. and she said to and you used to call us was bullets and now you're killing us with sanction. so she clearly is expecting the sanctions to be withdrawn and to be lifted and unfrozen assets. that's also something she demands. but at the same time, she says that the taliban also need to change their minds about giving women access to participate in the economy. giving girls access to school, it's because there is the school been telling place is still in place for secondary school. good thing. if you ask them they are so desperate being stuck at home. i mean, we went to a school and spend time with a great 6. now this according to taliban is the last year of school. so look, you are looking at 1213 year olds and we asked them, so what do you want to be when you grew up in all hands went up where we as you want to be doctors. but then, you know, this is your last year in school and you're effective. he bought from secondary education, which means you're also bought from university from medical school. so that's

almost like a last generation was met. so many women really being stuck at home. desperate can't go to university can participate in the economic life. so there was a lot of depression at stake, re lovely with over the time being without so much for joining us to those under bertelsmann. heard of du du bos, research and investigations. but like as much dozens of countries also and lifted their citizens and afghan, barkers from hobbles international airport after the city fell to the taliban in mid august. one of those countries was south korea, which brought and nearly $400.00 of guns. while undeniably fortunate, those people have had to rebuild their lives in a foreign country, which has not always been welcoming and with the language they do not yet speak. can. she is not a dish that usually appears on the table of an afghan family. but as see me, his wife and children are adapting to the korean lifestyle in their new apartment,

in, in shown close to the south korean capital. now i, i never think of all quite fast what, what i did in the past and what are doing now? must i stop everything? i, i thought my life from 1st here. i'm the 38 year old was a journalist. but like hundreds of others, l lifted from afghanistan to south korea a year ago, the elite cobble university graduate had to give up everything, including his job as he me now pike's plastics. at a factory today, he has a 12 hour overnight shift ahead but it's not the long night that makes him struggle. the most difficult us,

we don't know could in language, he has no time to attend language classes. that puts a big hurdle in assimilating in a country where many still believe in ethnic homogeneity. this attitude also affects assume his children. as south korean parents have protested against african kids entering local schools. but the family are still grateful, their children can grow up in a free society. my, my daughter can go to outside along and them can go to school along everything. but here i winnie road thing about when the gall along. the afghan also says south korea helped them escape the taliban, giving them a safe space. integration is anything but easy. but the family is trying the best to make this place, their new home. and you will find more to golden analysis on the

situation of promise on our website, the debbie dot com forward slash asia. ah lou and like the people of afghanistan must have she. lancaster population is struggling to feed itself, taught a spot by chronic shortages of basic goods and a most government mismanagement. forced president got up here as a boxer to flee the country july. he left his successor on bicker messenger to handle restructuring efforts aimed at securing an i'm a bailout. meanwhile, millions of she lumpkins on going to bed hungry in a small house in the sri lankan capital colombo, no lengthy, gunner sicaro, takes out the last remaining dried fish for her family. more than a quarter of the 22000000 people in the country are struggling to secure food. she is just one of them. math, we had an aunt giving ceremony last month and that was the last time we had a good meal with meat at montana. in the countries worst economic crisis since

independence has driven many into poverty. making things worse, thieves broke into goodness, a car as home a few months ago, stealing essentials. ah. then another one about 5 months back now some brothers broke into our house and still the small guest cylinder and the cooker we hat here for gas is expensive and we're shot of money on something. so we cope with firewood. now we've been put on my that at another, but that still bearable for the 49 year old. what truly worries her is her daughter's education. none of wrong will educate the children as well as we can put on when we are unable to buy books for them. my husband tells this to the home owners he's working for and they give us money to buy books and i will let them otherwise we manage with the money. we have no migraine. but rampant

inflation means gonna sicaro might not even be able to feed her daughter soon. although the government is seeking a multi $1000000000.00 bailout, financial assistance is still distant, leaving the family to wonder how long life can continue like this. and that's it for to birth is of cost more from the region on our website. he never dot com forward slash asia. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter or back tomorrow at the same time. we'll see you then the bye. ah full of power with shawn for electric car batteries. out of service in the interim, but still plenty of power. the ritual soon on india's rose,
