http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/27474 La capitale pachtoune est prise au piège entre le combat à mort des talibans et la mafia sauvage du gouvernement. Aucun jour ne passe sans un assassinat à Kandahar. Tantôt quelques policiers meurent dans une explosion, un autre jour un enfant marche sur une mine. La mort fait partie du quotidien au point que les Kandahari ne s'en aperçoivent plus. « Tant que je ne suis pas mort, je ne m'occupe pas des autres » ironise l'un d'eux. Traverser le bazar de Kandahar donne une impression de calme. Le silence, ponctué par l'appel à la prière cinq fois par jour, confère au lieu une ambiance zen. On pourrait se tromper, croire que tout va bien. Kandahar est le théâtre des complots, des alliances tactiques, des trafics en tout genre. C'est aussi le nouveau front de l'armée américaine. Son objectif : gagner les coeurs et les esprits de ce peuple hostile. Depuis le début du renforcement de ses effectifs dans le Sud, l'armée américaine n'a jamais essuyé autant de pertes. 323 soldats sont morts sur les huit premiers mois de 2010. Ce qui est déjà plus que pour toute l'année 2009. Dans les prochains mois, les opérations devraient s'intensifier dans le fief des talibans. Les Kandahari sont contraints à l'attente, nerveux, sans voix. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/21494/_MG_4743_bd_small.jpg
