after the photo they all disappear behind a partition. it's access is closely guarded so journalists are welcome to attend the conference on television it is still 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. 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 and 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 that 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. why will corruption and opium trafficking be found mr president first c n n

what kind of guarantees you offering the international community we will we would all for all they're going to. do siegel for us as far as you may know it is the job which just on this is to kill people to deliver the goods services to get out of corruption that you corruption and drug trafficking condom to be filled by us the afghans also have to be. given innocent lives to make good use of this assistance we must've today afghan people by bringing them missing out on the concrete examples there are coaches in the past or you know present these things not so much in a stand that could stand back stand that queensland 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 dollar a step to the dollars come from where do they go how much is really can vested in a school in hospital. we are about to discover a country where an ever poor population has lost all confidence in the authorities . a country where the taliban game 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. war is becoming more intense and poverty 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 will change their fate. the good of it is even that that money money money does not reach the people pulled out it stays out there out to us that it's in the pockets of the government was there for you where is the money that may be now. 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. do you work yesterday and the day before. i haven't worked in a week so money john's times web editor in the wall or die from bullets today they die of hunger that to them about your my children and i haven't eaten anything in

two days i swear i haven't eaten anything in two days that's important is your buddy fish people are dying of hunger who's going to help us anyway and if i tell you i'm starving will you help me. where are the achievements put forward by the donating countries who want to see the schools that were a priority of international aid. here is what sounded random in a working class neighborhood of the capital. it is roll call 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 that sat up i set up these. little

fish. that nobody had. to go who's going out working in baghdad if you didn't want it us that has nothing more to add. you now that there are no chairs no table list just some the help in the girls learn anything in this column to no good woman that you know i still only want to steal one not to listen to the teacher i. want him to lose maybe i want to grow my stuff how can they be happy. winter is coming and the morning is cold. a light snow has started to fall. i say if he goes on we'll have to leave but for now it's not much it's all right when the snow falls like this we stay outside of it if you did you study under the snow. you know what it is but we don't have the choice. to have it anything for. learning. born to do our

country good to progress going on here for making go things for who i dis. that's really all it but now we have tried to make things better for the school because it's really important. plans are for the schools. one thing is certain funds for major national 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. because i mean. this piece of land is owned by the state. but most of it was seized by people who have friends in high places where the rest of it belongs 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 remain 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 where the school has hundreds of schools allegedly built thanks to international. reconstructing or building a new six hundred eighty school. we contact the u.s. a 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 to be able to feel much. you put the address. on our. own. great. ten days to get the address of a school in kabul a girls' high school that is under construction. we rushed to it. and we find ourselves in front of a magnificent billboard picturing a truly beautiful building. ok so where is the school.

the school that gives. board where. all you know are that. many of the board's been here for one and a half years out of my will that will double that when they put it up and they promised that construction would start and everything would be completed. 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 the flu 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 this early 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 receive 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 tell about sometimes burn the schools down and often kidnap journalists for the more 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 of the construction must go faster it's really necessary obvious going too slow but as a monk we lack so much space in our school that we had to refuse now admissions that is more of us an operations very high level of effect.

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 is 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 mentor to stop for maybe. going to these people came with the americans the solution even wasn't for their planes and tanks but the minute they would have never made it here you know quite well but i don't like going to have it at the american economy they should have built public housing for everyone but good instead they took the area by force with weapons but i didn't like my saying the truth on the internet if you want. to find out about what happened one house as well 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 out. i mean i did about step the so the do nothing. more of it he was

a great problem but 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. and. altogether it can't afford a five hundred thousand dollars from the top of the villa a splendid panoramic view over the slums which are scheduled to be demolished. 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 does that i mean how about on the bulldozers came without warning. on the top on aiken's 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. on the topic on the. thread if you don't leave us i will be back tomorrow and. then 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. 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 straight discipline express why don't you want us to film explain to this is a house this is a street this is public this is new 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. because of the people there just a building you did in this thing many houses and they're giving that in because it is very high note in google. well in europe all much as it say this

this is. the twenty thousand twenty thousand euro 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. just. especially. because this is the area which was. taken by people in the us or some other people from women in the poor people who are skipped from the cd. and the same in despair that make the socialist. push this man was one of the very first to inform on the sheer poor situation a member of parliament who is waging a war against corruption. just by nationalist is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some call him a populist in terms of number of votes he's number three in the country 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 . it was too much. to go it was sort of i protest for the same reasons as last year are going to remember i was expelled asked you this for me 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 any blood pressure just goes. on and associated any thoughts i thought if you think we've heard the figures you're quoting dozens of times i mean i had thought about it but if you want to we can check it right now and that's cool 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 or thought it was that people are dying from hunger and here you are talking about millions of dollars i cannot believe this these are nothing but life. bashardost 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. the list of all those who were sold land for almost nothing. for a quandary if you saw the first time i saw this document i was the plan he was at this i opened it to you i was alone and i became terrorized just that i could not believe the math was so powerful to be so seductive clearly shows the embezzlement of public funding that the fraud and the outrageous privileges easy it's the first scandal of the cars i'd ministration exorbitant syrup or misc of those who did.

celestron this is the area nine hundred twenty four square meters us to do a shift this is the foreign secretary is chief of staff is a figure of course it. is the governor of a province official here this is the son of the general just a general he an ambassador of what is it a president of public radio and television. four hundred fifty square metres. she's the chief of police. is a journalist for afghan television is an afghan. says this is should people be right can't be critical of the government up with the news that way sadly how can they. eat it up with it she was also guilty i'm laughing but i should really be crying because you can look at this because if it were those gifts or did they still have to pay had to they were gifts because they paid something like two or three hundred dollars or something but i get three hundred dollars for nine hundred

square metres 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. the military. said. this all this land was given by a national for him who is defense minister and the first vice president. one of the most powerful and feared men in the country. war chief who first came to light during the soviet war which he fought alongside come under my suit against the taliban in september two thousand and one suit 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 received millions of dollars to oust the taliban. after the fall of kabul in two thousand and two the former war chief is named defense minister then. this allows 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. for them better where does the money for their palaces come from from their mother's belly. and 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 poorest wealthy be investigated. to newell's the subject is way too sensitive. or should goes for you if you show it makes everybody as it were. not more than two thousand dollars or hold it's going to be that close trio. well some of those houses are a million there. and that's the big question there is no base these people are. only a rino that indicates something there is a high level of corruption. misuse of public property and misuse of those monies

all the development and at the same time there are discussions about truck traffic but when i look to some of these expensive houses it can't be. even the idea of corruption because one million dollars just building. 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 afghan nouveau riche. 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 or by it all much as i should have. heard. is there. a child has that i need to see did opium money find in some of the luxurious villas of sure. that's a question no one wants to answer. we meet with the prosecutor in charge of finding money laundering. deficient seems rather reluctant to talk one of it and wish that. we can also afford to not comment at all well and ask people how they go that house but if someone comes up with proof i insist if anyone can prove that a 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 with. the who is looking for the evidence if it's not you we're calling to the law we don't have the right to investigate people's private property wanted on him but we can't touch that everyone is allowed tallahassee our city.
