the conference on television if france is not only acting as the host in power the president as usual has planned a spectacular announcement. simple question and that is why i am announcing the increase of french aid for reconstruction and so french aid to the afghans will be more than double. more than doubled just ahead of the aga khan private foundation france is now the twenty first donor. the first donor being the united states. has displayed to the press put the emphasis on the positive results of reconstruction especially for schools for which the u.s. government announces impressive figures. in education under the taliban seven years ago there were less than one million

children in school now there are six million children in school in the u.s. government has been pleased to be able to help the government of afghanistan to achieve these quick results by reconstructing or building a new six hundred eighty schools. bernard the french minister for foreign affairs tribes he's just announced a very high figure so we weren't expecting such a large sum. twenty million dollars in fact. a for a country such as afghanistan twenty billion dollars is a lot of money but how will it be spent. when members of the conference dare cross the partition that separates them from the press unpleasant questions start flying around. with my will corruption and opium trafficking be found mr president first c n n what kind of guarantees you offering the international community we will be with all for all they're going to. do you see go for us as far as you to know it is

a job which just on this is today to be able to deliver the goods services to get you out of corruption that you corruption and drug trafficking condom to be filled by us the afghans also have to be and also to. have a ganesan was to make good use of this assistance we must give it to the afghan people by bringing them missing out on the concrete examples that are marco pete sampras in the past or you know present these things so i can attend that could stand back stand that concerted stand that. winter two thousand and nine we have come to afghanistan to follow the dollar train . the billions in international aid the mysterious fortune of an upstart caste living in dollars step away to the dollars come from where do they go how much is

really can vested in schools in hospitals. we are about to discover a country where an ever poor population has lost all confidence in the authorities . a country where the taliban gained ground every day. this morning in a secured zone an american convoy was attacked by a suicide bomber. the marines have lost one man they're panicking. and they seem afraid of being attacked by someone in the crowd for passers by were killed by the blast. eighty percent of the victims of the taliban are innocent civilians. is becoming more intense and poverty

all time high afghanistan remains one of the four poorest countries in the world and people in the streets do not believe the billions of international aid changed their fate. that couldn't is even that good that money what money money does not reach the people that it stays up there up to us that it's in the pockets of the government was there for you where is the money that. starving out of work people meet every morning on this crossroads they wait here for days hoping to earn three dollars for a day's work. to do work yesterday and the day before. i haven't worked in a week so money john times web editor in the wall would die from bullets today they die of hunger let them about their my children and i haven't eaten anything in two days i swear i haven't eaten anything in two days that's in your enemies ya buddy fish people are dying of hunger but who's going to help us anyway if i tell you i'm

starving will you help me. where are the achievements put forward by the donating countries we want to see the schools that were a priority of international aid. here is one sound at random you know working class neighborhood of a couple. it is wrong calls for the girls in the south of the country girls are attacked by the taliban but they can. when you to flock to school they are determined and come in numbers in large numbers here a few minor details missing from the situation to be perfect. details like walls and a roof. sat up was that. these. little fish that. you. had. going out working in bad ideas you didn't want it to if that is nothing more to activity if we're outside ok

now that there are no chairs no table list just some the hell can the girls learn anything in this cold and noble mind that you know i still only want to still want not to listen to the teacher i. want them to lose big time to grow by step how can they be happy. winter is coming in the morning is cold. a light snow started to fall. i say if he goes on we'll have to leave now but if a now it's not much it's all right when the snow falls like this we stay outside of a. new study under the snow. you know what it is that we don't have a choice. you know how could anything for. learning. all of the afghan people want to do our country good to for goodness sake i mean here for making go. for who i dis. that's really all

it but now we are trying to make think these are for the school because there's room for both. kinds of for the school. one thing is certain the funds from international aid were not invested here. because there aren't enough classrooms this small school welcomes its ten thousand students over three ships i. princes. however i spotted a piece of land where the school could settle and expand. this piece of land is owned by the state. but most of it was seized by people who have friends in high places. rest of it belong to the ministry of defense. put in a request of the school. off camera a school official hints that the man who confiscated this land that is vital to the school is a commander in chief a warlord. the school official remains silent in front of the camera because he

fears the warlord. this is his house it overlooks the slumps. to make the situation clear the warlord has put up military barbed wire even around the small garden on the sidewalk in front of the house. it's true afghan students are back in huge numbers but where the school has hundreds of schools allegedly built thanks to international. reconstructing or building a new six hundred eighty school. we contact the usaid united states agency for international development. their offices are located behind these walls. a perimeter reserved to those holding the bag for those outside the walls it's traffic jams and danger. we want to see with our own

eyes one of the six hundred eighty schools. we've been talking to julia the press agent for ten days. she's having trouble finding one not always calling you because i live to have some addresses of schools too to be able to feel. you put the address. on i. don't drink. great. ten days to get the address of a school in kabul a girls' high school that is under construction. we rush to it. we find ourselves in front of a magnificent billboard picturing a truly beautiful building. ok so where is the school.

the school that gives. forward. oh you know what that clue. is the board's been here for one and a half years side of my wall that will double that when they put it up and they promised that construction would start and everything would be completed. this all is well it's almost two years now and still nothing. to me i've been calling saying the girls are freezing to death or they have a clue i've been here since six o'clock this morning we couldn't get my hands are completely dry from the cold but that's how it was i mean the city to. go. so far the american donors have only built restrooms and the school surrounding walls and of inaugurated a beautiful billboard. we call back usaid and this time we insist where the school's out of the six hundred eighty there has to be one in kabul we received one

last email from the agency it states that most of the schools were built in rural districts. too bad for us and for the afghan kids. the rural districts are swarming with taliban who sometimes burn the schools down and often kidnap journalists for them or because of the war many villages have been deserted their inhabitants fleeing to the capital whose population has doubled to about four million. case in point is the. place where schools are needed the most. i guess we need so many things that construction must go faster ok it's really necessary obvious going too slow but as a monk we lack so much space in our school that we have to refuse no admissions that is more about the population's very high level of us that. yet there is one neighborhood in kabul where construction is thriving where there

are no delays. welcome to ship to the stronghold of afghanistan's new lords. for the past three years fortified thomases have mushroomed ensured. each still has its own private security. of course there is the taliban threat but that's not all. sheer poor is at the heart of the conflict that the new authorities would like to conceal. a war between those who are close to power and thousands of poor people who have lived in the area for several generations. now you have been a metro stop for maybe. going to these people coming with the american and some of

the families i mean wasn't for their planes and tanks the minute they would have never made it here you know quite well but i don't like going to have it but michael wanted me to they should have built public housing for everyone but they would instead still take if they took the area by force with weapons put out it would i say the truth on the only significant right. in front of us i think that one house has not enough some really have three or four. who are the owners of these houses the secret is well kept by guards armed with machine guns. you got by the way or a private security firm you cannot fill me up. and i mean i did that upset the so the. right to. work here. was a great problem that's what he said. we meet with a man who is having his house built. he's one of the architects

who has designed the neighborhoods villains. his rich clients have paid him in full now it is his turn to have his own palace built. all together it came to fold a five hundred thousand dollars from the top of the villa a splendid panoramic view over the slums which are scheduled to be demolished. says it will all become a bit sad these old houses are illegal i mean these people will leave the state will relocate them elsewhere that's the way it is but if the government wants to build a road and a house is on the path that is the house is raised and the land requisition. to speed up the evictions the police showed up one morning in two thousand and six with a bulldozer. and

up on the lead but those that i read about on the bulldozers came without warning. on the top on make and they came to demolish the houses that were on the road that i started raising here. that i got them and then we were told we had to leave them on the tough economy. they threatened if you don't leave we'll be back tomorrow and we'll. make. a man comes out of one of the villas is he one of the mysterious owners. he's a businessman back from exile he rents one of the palaces and uses it as an office for his company. that you see. this is the new. came in. the stupid thing in this latest model called the facilities came with the security guards appear there on edge what is the

problem this is a middle of a street to support an expressway want to want us to film explain to this is a house this is a street this is public this is i'm sorry this is this is trade this is public this house is don't own the streets you know we are regular generalists we're doing our job we're in the middle of the street i'm sorry i'm not doing anything wrong tell them to shut the camera down because the journalist want to show that there are rich people also in kabul ok ok ok if you. don't film the house. most of the people there just a building you did in this thing many houses and they're giving it in because it is very high. in europe all much as it was say this this is. the twenty thousand twenty thousand year as though it was.

but it's hard to know who receives the money and in this case you know who the owner is is someone from the government or. especially. because this is the area which was. taken by a woman people in the us or some other people from women in the poor people who are skipped from the cd. and you see him in this speech that make this. push that this man was one of the very first to inform on the ship or situation like a member of parliament who is waging a war against corruption. just by bashing those who is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some call him a populist in terms of number of votes his number three in the country but i decided today he's going to create quite a stir in parliament. indeed winter is here and with it comes famine and extreme urgency as he has just discovered that the food aid hasn't reached the villages yet

. monita. it's just a month. ago it was sort of i protest that for the same reasons as last year are you remember i was expelled asked you this moment if i'm not mistaken with the money you asked for last year has not been cleared by the budget divide this is illegal. to avoid a scandal the president of the assembly cut his microphone but bashardost goes. on s.r.c. any thoughts i thought after the go fish and we've heard the figures you're quoting dozens of times i mean i had thought a lot but if you want to we can check it right now i'm of the school of villages and the local authorities to see if the food supplies have arrived at your i would like to get one if. it's exactly the same as last year thought they had lived and they continue to do so caught up with that people are dying from hunger and here you are talking about millions of dollars i cannot believe this these are nothing

but a life. that. is a former minister four years ago he resigned to protest against the squandering of international aid. from his stint as minister he's kept a highly sensitive document concerning the ship or district of the list of all those who were sold land for almost nothing. for quandary if you saw the first time i saw this document i was the planet he was at this i opened it to you i was alone and i became terrorized i could not believe the mafia was so powerful to be so seductive clearly show biz amount of public funding the fraud and the outrageous craven agency it's the first scandal of the cars administration exorbitant sin reform risk of those. cars i. suppose. no vision of the area nine hundred twenty four square meters shift this is the

foreign secretary is chief of staff as if it. is the governor of a province official here this is the son of the general. general here and ambassador isidore president of public radio and television you know people are four hundred fifty square meters. is the chief of police. is a journalist for afghan television afghan. people but you're right they can't be critical of the government up with the news that. how can they put. it up with see if he was also guilty i'm laughing but i should really be crying because you know if it is specifically those gifts or do they still have to pay the ticket. because they paid something like two or three hundred dollars or something because three hundred dollars for nine hundred square meters just about. who had enough power to ward such gifts to friends of the regime. since the land officially belongs to the

defense ministry the generous donor must have been a military. to search this all this land was given by emotion for him who is defense minister and littlest vice president. musharraf one of the most powerful and feared men in the country. who are chief who first came to light during the soviet war which he fought alongside commander must who'd then against the taliban in september two thousand and one is assassinated by al qaeda and is replaced by fate. and other afghan war chiefs become the best allies of donald rumsfeld also known as mr war in america. they risk. of millions of dollars to oust the taliban. after the fall of kabul in two thousand and two fame the former war

chief is named defense minister then marshal. disallows him to distribute land in the ship or district. we tried to contact marshall fame several times he did not wish to give us his side of the story. one question remains how do you earn five hundred thousand dollars when you're a civil servant. a question looming in the streets of kabul. through them area and where does the money for the palaces come from from the mother's belly. yet if they get the money to build it they will fall like me. how did they do it people in the streets are not the only ones who have become suspicious the role of the human rights commission is to monitor the government the

commission's lawyers have officially requested that share poor is wealthy be investigated. to newell's else the subject is way too sensitive. shit goes for you if you show it makes everybody as a bridge. not more than two thousand dollars or hold it's going to be that close trio. well some of those houses are a million dollar. there it is and that's the big question there is no base that these people run. for only as a rino that indicates something good there is a high level of corruption and misuse of public property and misuse of those monies to develop it and at the same time there are discussions about truck traffic so when i look to some of these expensive houses it can be. even the idea of

corruption because one million dollars just building or in this town is very much. corruption and embezzlement. but also drugs. it's impossible not to think about opium trafficking when you come across ask a new full reach. the country produces ninety percent of the world's heroin. seven thousand tons per year. sure the taliban profit from the drugs trafficking but according to the american press so do afghan government officials inside the administration. under the pressure of the international community the government has set up an anti narcotic special unit its means are considerable for such a country. even in the area of public relations in this laboratory we are shown the tricks used by drug mules that were caught by the police supply and. where is there

. a shot as that i need to see did opium money fine in some of the luxurious villas of ship. that's a question no one wants to answer. we meet with the prosecutor in charge of finding money laundering. the official seems rather reluctant to talk one of it in the stock. and in could we can also afford to not come at a ball well and awesome people how they go that house but if someone comes up with proof i insist if anyone can prove that our house was built thanks to drug money then we go at it one hundred percent of the law says we need proof so if someone provides that proof then yes we work at it with no problems. who is looking for the evidence if it's not you and the coning to the law we don't have the right to

investigate people's private property wanted it and we can touch it and everyone is allowed tallahassee elsie.
