Gloablisation:Afghanistan

==Progress in the Aftermath of War==
One of the words most frequently used by observers to describe Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of the overthrow of the Taliban was ‘medieval’. Decades of occupation, civil war and oppressive government left a legacy of poverty, insecurity and chronic under-investment. All of the essential infrastructure needed for a society to function was in disrepair: transport, communications, power, water, schools, hospitals. Everything that hadn’t already been destroyed was in dire need of repair.
ASI was called upon by DFID to assist the post-war government of President Hamid Karzai in quickly building institutions capable of providing the essential services so desperately needed by Afghanistan ’s long-suffering population.
We have been able to bring our expertise to bare on a variety of vital projects:
Working with the Ministry of Finance to develop strategies for the reform of the tax and customs systems. Helping to review the investment code and supervise the financial sector 
Working with the Civil Service Commission to develop a reform strategy. Developing systems to manage and monitor the civil service payroll 
Working with the Central Bank to support the introduction of a national currency and the development of an electronic payments system 
Working with the Office of the President to develop systems and processes 
All of these measures have been essential in getting the Afghan government up and working in the vacuum left by the Taliban. We continue to advise the government on a whole raft of reforms, with our involvement expanding into other cabinet office and civil service issues.

Global Islamic Media Front

Global Islamic Media Front is allegedly an organisation that relays news from the point of view of Al Qaeda under the title Voice of the Caliphate. see, for example, Steve Coll and Susan B. Glasser, 'Terrorists Turn to the Web as Base of Operations', Washington Post, 7 August 2005; Shaun Waterman, 'Cyber-jihadis use of encryption', UPI, 30 January 2007; Steve Stalinsky (of MEMRI), 'Qaeda's Successful Recruiting Efforts', The New York Sun, 19 January 2007 At best this service does not live up to the reports about it.
The first reference to it appears in a Washington Post article from August 7, 2005 Steve Coll and Susan B. Glasser, 'Terrorists Turn to the Web as Base of Operations', Washington Post, 7 August 2005 where Rebecca Givner-Forbes from the Terrorism Research Center makes a reference to it. Other propagators of the story are two Israeli connected websites the Search for International Terrorist Entities and the Middle East Media Research Institute. French terrorologist Jean-Pierre Filiu claims the organization has been around since 2003. Many references to it come from a Zionist weblog, The Jawa Report. Via Lexis Nexis 
In 2007 various media outlets in the UK received messages of a new terrorist initiative: an alleged organization by the name of the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) had just launched a new online channel, the Voice of the Caliphate According to Idrees Ahmad 
:The message was forwarded by someone at the BBC to my PhD supervisor and media analyst, David Miller, who decided to have a look. The website seemed to have been put together in a hurry, and had nothing except a screen shot of a purported broadcast. It had a link to a video, except when he tried to download, it said the site had exceeded its 16 downloads limit.'The Fanonite (blog), 'Cyber Jihad: The Phantom Menace', 13 July 2007
