a special report on corruption in afghanistan which is helping fill the ranks of the taliban. sure to draw a red carpet and t.v. cameras the lights are on. june two thousand and eight the countries of the coalition are presenting their spending program for the reconstruction of afghanistan. the friendly side of the war. americans french and germans afghan politicians congratulating each other. 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 france is not only acting as the host in power the president as usual has planned

a spectacular announcement. a simple question and that is why i am announcing the increase of french aid for reconstruction as so french aid to the afghans will be more than double zero zero he does have got. 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. oh sure 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. into cation 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. the french minister for foreign affairs tribes that is just announced a very high figure and so we weren't expecting such a large sum. twenty million dollars in fact. 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 offer in the international community we will we would offer all that going into the city that you see call for us to try to diminish you know what is the job we can just a little on this is to kill people to deliver the goods services to get rid of corruption that interruption and drug trafficking condom before by us the afghans

also have to be an awful. lot of innocent was to make good use of the systems we must to give it to the afghan people by bringing in everything in a concrete examples there are coach examples in the past already more complete joke wasn't these things are not so much in a sense that it is stand back stand that things stand that. kabul 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 staff way to the dollars come from where do they go how much is really can best 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 game ground every day. this morning in a secured zone an american convoy was attacked by a suicide bomber ah 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. one time eighty percent of the victims of the taliban are innocent civilians her. war is becoming more intense and poverty is at an all time high afghanistan remains one of the four poorest countries in the world and people in the streets cannot believe the billions of international aid will change their fate. that couldn't is even that good that money what money

the money does not reach the people who pulled out it stays up there. it's in the pockets of the government fired up for you where is the money that good now maybe not. 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's times were better during the war or die from bullets today they die of hunger the more 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 in your arm is your body please people are dying of hunger but 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 you know working class neighborhood of the county. just roll calls of girls in the south of the country girls are attacked by the taliban but they continue to flock to school they are determined and come in numbers in large numbers. here a few minor details missing from the situation would be perfect. details like walls and a roof that i sat up and i have these. little fish. that might have caused them to go missing no working environment is even more that you know if that is nothing more to that evidence we're outside ok now that are no chairs no table list system the hell can the girls learn anything in the schools and no problem i know that you know i still only want to stay one not to listen to the teacher i was. just the man she was going to listen

to grow my stuff how can they be happy. winter is coming the morning is cold. a light snow started to fall. i say as he goes on will have to me it's not a finale it's not much it's all but when the snow falls like this we stay outside of it. you could try to study under the snow. you know it is but we don't have a choice. behind anything for. learning the. code of gun people want to do our country good support this bickering here for making things worse who i dis. it's rare. but now we are right you may think these are for the schools because it's really

important expensive 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 shifts i . was a principal 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 i mean we put in a request to 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 war has put a 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 the hundreds of schools allegedly built thanks to the international. reconstructing who are building a new six hundred eighty school. we contacted us 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 those who is calling you because i live to have

some addresses of schools to be able to feel me. ok you put the address on it right. now on trying to. create the best. 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 this is. who or where oh you know what that.

means the board's been here for one and a half years sort of know what that little that when they put it up they promised the construction would start and everything would be completed until you know the sun is low it's almost two years now and still nothing. gets any i've been calling saying the girls are freezing to death. i've been here since six o'clock this morning quickly if it was my hands are completely dry from the cold but that's how it was and 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 usa 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 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 camel is the place where schools are needed the most. we need so many things construction must go faster it's really necessary obvious going too slow but as summer we let so much space in our school that we have to refuse marriage missions that is more of us an occupation is very high higher level five. yet there is one neighborhood in kabul where construction is thriving where there are no delays. welcome to ship two of the strongholds of afghanistan's new lords. for the past

three years for the final touches of mushrooms ensure. each still has its own private security. of course there is the taliban threat but that's not a. sheer force at the heart of a 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. have you been in the forest for maybe. going to these people came with the americans with all this i mean wasn't for their planes and tanks the minute they would have never made it here you know why come i don't like going to have it at the american economy they should have built public housing for everyone but they

would instead so if they took the area by force with weapons put out it would be saying the truth on the most significant money. to fund a well yes definitely house isn't 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 owner of private security firm you cannot tell me. i mean if i did that upset the so be it for a bit. more of you he was a great problem that's what he said. we meet with a man who is having his house built. you'll be. is one of the architects who has designed the neighborhoods villains. his rich clients have paid him in full

and 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. says it will all become a bit sad that these old houses are illegal i mean these people will leave the state will relocate them elsewhere the next day 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 elections the couple chief of police showed up one morning in two thousand and six with a bulldozer. and up on ballot bowl 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. i like them and then we were told we had to leave them on the topic and. they threatened me if you don't leave i will be back tomorrow and will destroy everything i thought i was just on a holiday i wish to make and. then a man comes out of one of the villas to see one of the mysterious owners. know he's a businessman back from exile he rinse one of the promises and uses it as an office for his company. it's really. just code that you see a couple city this is the new. just being in this latest model caused him to think this came with the security guards appear there on edge what is the problem this is the middle of the street it's a public space why don't you want us to film explain to us this is ours this is the

street this is public this is new i'm sorry this is this is a street this is public this house is don't own the streets you know we are regular journalists 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 here they're just building. houses and they're giving because it is very high falutin you. go in europe all much as it is like this this is. only. twenty thousand twenty thousand u.s. dollars was one. but it's hard to know who receives the money in this case you know who the owner is someone from the government or. just. especially in this

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 from the syrian and the same in this state that make the social. push that this man was one of the very first to inform on the ship or situation a member of parliament was waging a war against corruption. just by nationalist is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some called the populist in terms of number of votes his 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 the food aid hasn't reached the villages yet. my mantra. it was too much. because it was sort of i protest from what that's for the

same reasons as last year or your to remember i was expelled last year 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 with the better the list goes. through this to ponder not see any faults i think we've heard the figures you're quoting dozens of times i mean i thought a lot but if you want to see it right now i'm of the school villages and the local authorities to see if the food supplies have arrived at. which is exactly the same as last year thought they had lived and it continued it is a lot of that people are dying from hunger and here you are talking about millions of dollars i cannot believe this these are nothing but life. motion 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 quandary to subject to the first time i saw this document i was the planet he was at this i open it to you i was alone and i became terrorized just so i could not believe the mathew was so calm and more precise seebach clearly shows the imprisonment of public funding the fraud and the outrageous privilege you see it's the first scandal and because i'd ministration exorbitant sunoco misc of those who did karzai . celestron this is the area nine hundred twenty four swim meet soon to shift this is the foreign secretary is chief of staff is a fit washer. is the governor of a province and those who do feel here this is the son of a general just the general here an ambassador isidore president of public radio and

television eagle four hundred fifty square meters sushi's is the chief of police. this is a journalist for afghan villagers an afghan. says this is your people but you're right if they can't be critical of the government up with the news that the quezon city how can they. eat it up with you because he was also acutely i'm laughing but i should really be crying because you can look it is a city with those gifts or do they still have to pay. off because they paid something like two or three hundred dollars some people get chris 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 most of the. the military. search and all this all this man who's given my emotional for him who is defense

minister and the first vice president. musharraf one of the most powerful and feared men in the country. i take for chief who first came to light during the soviet war which he fought alongside come under my suit then against the taliban in september two thousand and one my suit is assassinated by al qaeda and is replaced by fate. fame and other afghan war chiefs become the best allies of donald rumsfeld also known as mr war in america. they receive 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. 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. the question looming in the streets of kabul. 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 of the role of the human rights commission is to monitor the government the commission's lawyers have officially requested bashir poor as well be investigated. toodles else the subject is way too sensitive. and should goes for

you if you should it makes everybody as a bridge. not more than can tell from dollar. really. close trio. well some of those houses are a million dollar. there it is and that's the big question there is no base these people. form only if. we know that indicates something there is a high level of corruption and misuse of public property and misuse of those monies of the developer. at the same time there are discussions about truck traffic when i look to some of these expensive housing it can't be them and even the idea of corruption because one million dollars is just building a house or in this town on this very.

corruption and investment. 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 drug 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 of my own naturalization i . heard they are. shocking even as that i need to see the good

opium money fine and some of the luxurious villas of shirtless. 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 monitored in this that will have a little bit impulse and we can also afford to not come at it all well and ask people how they got 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 but the law says we need proof so if someone provides that proof then yes we work at it with no problems broken it will not only would those who he's looking for the evidence if it's not you and the according to the law we don't have the right to investigate people's private property a lot of it and we can't touch them and everyone is allowed tallahassee us culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money for me to take the position of

a real created what you mean we used the word west is a place a state of mind or even a specific time in history also. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
