Associated Press, Nov.12, 2002
 
K A B U L, Afghanistan, Nov. 12 - Hundreds of students enraged over a
lack of food and electricity in their dormitory clashed with police in
violent demonstrations that carried into the morning Tuesday. At least
four students were killed and dozens injured, witnesses and officials
said.
Firefighters pushed back students Tuesday with water cannons, and
police blasted with barrages of automatic fire. Authorities said they
were firing over students' heads. Students threw rocks, bricks and
sticks back at the security forces.
"With my own eyes I saw the bodies of four students shot when they
tried to march to the presidential palace," said Sher Mohammed, an
army officer who witnessed the initial protests on Monday night. It
was not clear whether any more students died in Tuesday's clash.
"Death to the killers of our colleagues. We want justice," protesters
shouted outside the dilapidated dormitories where more than 3,000
students from villages throughout Afghanistan live in squalor.
"All we're trying to do is contain them to the university right now,
we can't stop it," intelligence chief Abdul Karim told The Associated
Press.
It was the first time since the fall of the Taliban that a university
protest turned violent. Kabul's fledgling police department has
received international training, mostly from German police.
"This is barbaric," said Umaid, a social sciences student who leapt
over a rusted fence to escape the shooting. "Today the students are
protesting the death of our fellow students."
The army officer, Mohammed, said students had waited three hours in
line Monday night for food following the end of the daylong fast being
observed throughout Islam's holy month of Ramadan, which began about a
week ago.
The food ran out before more than 400 students could be fed. For much
of the time they had been standing in the dark because the electricity
had gone out, he said.
"We have no water. We have no bread. We have no electricity.
Everything is expensive," said Nangalai, a medical student. He said
some of the students were also firing in the air during the protest
Monday.
Habib-ur Rahman, whose cousin is studying at the university, said he
saw one dead body at a local hospital while searching for his
relative, who is missing. Witnesses said at least 30 students were
injured on Monday.
The protest came nearly a year to the day after the fall of the
hard-line Taliban from the capital, and amid complaints that the
cash-strapped government has not done enough to improve people's
lives.
Hundreds of onlookers gathered Tuesday to watch the demonstration,
some standing atop the ruins of destroyed homes near the university,
which lies in an area of Kabul that was heavily damaged during
factional fighting in the early 1990s.
The university, once the country's flagship of higher education, was
not repaired during the rule of the Taliban who frowned on most
education, other than religious training.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has pleaded for more international
assistance, saying his poor nation has not received what it has been
promised by the world following the collapse of the Taliban.
A report prepared in October by the global charity CARE International
says: "We conclude that despite the rhetoric the donor community has
yet to deliver the required funding for Afghan reconstruction. This
not only breaks a promise; it is potentially counterproductive."

 nuovo regime Afghano:
Credo sia fuori luogo l'ironia dell'oggetto.
Contestualizza, paragona e rivaluta.
Ciao

concilia?

Il contesto e' qua' sotto.    Basta a "rivalutare"?

'Threats' to Afghan killings witnesses By Kylie Morris 
BBC Kabul correspondent 
The United Nations says it is investigating reports that witnesses to
alleged mass killings in the north of the county are being harassed,
tortured and even murdered.
" The UN has received reports of very serious incidents relating to
the prospect of an investigation of harassment, torture and extra
judicial execution of Afghans in possession of information "
UN spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva 
Very few people have spoken publicly about what happened to the men
who are buried in a mass grave near the northern town of Sheberghan.
It is thought that people with information surrounding the deaths of
as many as 1,000 Taleban soldiers taken prisoner are being pressured
to keep silent about what they know.
A preliminary UN investigation of the site revealed that the cause of
death in the cases of three exhumed bodies was suffocation.
That is consistent with allegations by human rights groups that the
men died when they were crammed into shipping containers without water
or enough air and driven across the north of Afghanistan.
Preliminary investigation 
The preliminary investigation in May recommended a full investigation,
the securing of the mass grave site and protection for witnesses.
None of these things has happened - despite a commitment by the
government of Hamid Karzai that an investigation should take place.
But any inquiry is contingent upon it being safe for witnesses to give
evidence against people like the northern power broker, General Abdul
Rashid Dostum, whose forces are widely considered responsible for the
killings.
At that time, he was a key local ally for American forces fighting to
remove the Taleban from power.
The general himself says only 200 prisoners died and most were already
sick or wounded from the fighting.
The UN now says it is investigating the claims of harassment, torture
and even the execution of witnesses, and has raised those concerns
with government authorities and General Dostum.
If witnesses have been threatened, that makes it even less likely the
truth will ever be told about what happened at Sheberghan.


Boh?
Forse Annullo? Riprovo o Tralascio???? :-))

sick or wounded from the fighting.
E quindi quei tre potrebbero essere di quelli :)
