This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bachelor. Two years later, after the abatement, the withdrawal,

the departure from Afghanistan, Bill Rojo and Hasein Akhani are here to measure the

tempest in Afghanistan that is very difficult to see because the Taliban government is

not transparent. However, Bill, I come to a voice of America piece that was good to see

because it's consistent with the reporting you have done for years. Two years after the Taliban

take over Afghanistan writes the voice of America. There is growing consensus that the country is

again devolving into a hotbed of terrorism activity that is already beginning to affect the region.

If not yet capable of reaching the West, that's a very carefully constructive paragraph.

Please translate what's happening inside.

Yeah, John, so I would disagree that on the devolving part because Afghanistan devolved years and

years ago. During the Taliban's insurgency, it was sheltering El Qaeda and other terrorist groups,

movement of Taliban in Pakistan, and I could go on and on with the regional terror groups that

was being sheltered by the Taliban in areas they controlled in Afghanistan, even while the US and

NATO was present in Afghanistan. So to say that it's devolved, I would disagree with that.

What has happened, I would say it's evolved. With the Taliban take over of the country,

it has access to more resources. It has free range to put El Qaeda and put training camps

for El Qaeda wherever they want. For instance, when the United Nations and a little

of the support and sanctions monitoring team, they should have reported in early June, it noted that

El Qaeda was operating in camps and it was in the West, in the South, in Central Afghanistan,

in Northern Afghanistan, in Eastern Afghanistan. That's how this terrorist threat has evolved.

You get, and look, I think that was a very good article by Voice of America, but I guess I

get a little bit, you may say, with the framing of these articles, and what you're getting there
