After the listening post, one day i might be covering politics. You might hear, i think from serbia hungry. Whats most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through so that i could convey the headlines in the most human way possible. Hear it as a theater. We believe everyone has a story worth hearing. The last. Ringback us troops, i withdrawn from any of the of the question was. Busy what over the mistakes made along the way, you put it out in america . War, the us military acted from that has been as wrenching, early, brought the occupation of the work done. And i mean, actually the abbey, and youre at the listening post, the sure where we dont cover the news. We covered the way the news is covered. Its been 20 years since the 911 attacks in the United States that triggered what washington called the war on terror. 2 decades since american Mainstream Coverage of the u. S. Is turbulent, withdrawn from a kind of sun to the how much has changed and how much has remained the theme in the Media Approach to americas wars and for off country and this, since the taliban has taken over, a tough job has become much tougher. Many have fled the country. I was the Bread Winner for my family. And today im a refugee in another country, is ironic that nothing has driven home the reality and the futility of 20 years of water. And ive kind of done quite as effectively as the quote unquote end of the water. And ive kind of stun that assertions of the taliban. And the chaotic exit of us ground forces unfolded or rather unraveled in the run up to the 20th anniversary of the 911. 00 attacks. The revealed that the so called war on terror had not only failed, but that the story successive us administrations have been spinning on kindest, on through american news outlets had little to do with reality. Not of the fear stereotypes about of gone, a son and a tendency to under report, the impact of americas military adventures abroad. Im nearly as prevalent in News Coverage and Rhetoric Today as they were back in 2001 deflecting the blame for Death Destruction and defeat in a war long deemed unwinnable Starting Point to speak is of kind of dance, capital one years of fighting and how many, for a lot of us public european public, the africa was something that was very much happening over that somewhere else, the us and its on the control for years and it was kind of in the background then all of a sudden when were leaving suddenly deteriorating situation unfolding. Gotta stand, i think that really drove home to people just the scale of the occupation. The stakes involved, ah, the calculus of exactly when to get off of kind of sun was complex. There were the timelines negotiated by the United States and the taliban. The competitors of domestic us politics played a role keep. Im likely there were considerations about how the Media Narrative of supposedly ending americas longest was. What does the deal with the narrative around the 20 year around the versity of 911. 00 the calculations about optics messaging panels. The turbulence of America Exit from afghanistan, underscored the fact that after 20 years, hundreds of thousands of lives lost trillions of dollars spent. The United States had effectively overseen the placement of the taliban fighters in the president ial palace. Taliban is a very brutal reminder that history is repeating itself. And i think the american media struggling on how to cover the fact that america lost this war. Does president of, im not there, the blame for this disastrous exit at the Warren Terror has not been a victory for, for the us, whether it was an iraq or afghanistan war is going to continue in so many ways for the people of afghanistan, the inconvenient kind of truth about the war that have been rediscovered include the fact that there was massive disruption, massive death as a result of the war. The fact that the United States was supporting a government in kabul, which was not legitimately eyes of many of the african people, and that led them to see in many cases the tale of one is the lesser of 2 evils. The domino like pulling off con cities to the kind of on and now control of nearly all the major cities and the Media Cottage accompanying it was again on ca generated a kind of public sean. The few new studies can eat, but the Events Neednt have come as such as supplies. Why Media Attention had been diverted elsewhere for years. The realities of the us occupation of a kind of sun meant things. Were heading almost inexorably in one direction towards the surgeon of the taliban. When american troops are not dying in american wars, theres very little Media Coverage when the last 5 to 6 years, most american news organizations and in particular Television News has not really been in the country doing sustained coverage. In 2019 United States reached records, levels of air strikes and bombings of commerce on and despite it, continuing it record pace. There were very few journalists investigating that air war. But knowing how to air Strike And Night rays that resulted in massive civilian debt was essential context that was needed for americans to understand the style of bonds rise. American viewers need to go directly to the on the ground, journalists where they can get a picture of what war looks like. This is what americans dont understand. They think war looks to everybody the way it looks to us service member, followed by a journalist whos embedded with the pentagon. And thats not what war looks like. War looks like as a loss of home and community, the loss of family members. The loss of a sense of security. Those are really very important issues that are shockingly missing from much media. Its actually being quite difficult for journalists to get access to areas outside the cities, rural areas where a lot of, for example, the civilian casualties have been happening as a result of us and allied air strikes. And its really been exceptions like and, and go public who have gone out into the more rural areas into the more pro taliban areas to really try and understand whats going on. And theyre the ones who in recent days have been able to offer the most plausible and convincing accounts of what went wrong to frantic scenes and stories of the u. S. Withdrawal from a kind of spawn have made it much tougher for president Joe Biden to put a positive spin on an obvious to. The largest military in history, had effectively been defeated by an impoverished militia, retrain and equipped in africa military force. In the speeches he made in the arctic days after the taliban takeover of cobbles, one of bidens main explanations for america seemed mission and the country was off kinds themselves. We gave them every chance to determine their own future. We could not provide them was the will to fight for that future. There doesnt seem to be any Empathy Or Sympathy or any kind of sense of, of accountability for what the us did and 20 years. Yes, they did try to bring some good, but they made so many mistakes. And id like to hear some Responsibility And Accountability for those mistakes. But the politicians are sort of parenting the same jingle with patriotism. It is not what our troops who have sacrificed so much over the past 2 decades deserve about how our troops died and how much we suffered. And of course they did. And what was it all for anyway . Look at these afghans, they cant even get along with each other. There warriors who are untenable, again, this is the trope, no amount of military force, whatever deliver a stable, united, secure afghanistan, as known in history the graveyard empire, by using this Term Biden is trying to absolve the u. S. And allies of any responsibility for the current outcome. The idea is that because of galveston is the graveyard of empires. That means that this result was inevitable because ive kind of son has always been this way when we see cliches like this circulating its, its actually symptomatic of a deeper problem that we failed to understand the region. We failed to understand its peoples history. And that goes a long way to explaining why the u. S. Mission and council actually failed so badly. I for the taliban back in the spotlight and with a group on carbon after 2 decades in the african hinterlands. The past few weeks have put their media beat in the off con capital where the government has been brought together or in the Custody Capital of the ha, from where the taliban continue to hold talk with the United States and other nation. The group is clearly making an effort with how we present itself to a watching public the taliban. India logically is not that different than the taliban in the 90s. I dont think weve seen fundamental changes. Weve perhaps seen changes in the way they dress themselves to some extent the taliban. They want some kind of international legitimacy. So that may motivate them to give at least publicly different positions. But if you look at some of their statements from 1996. When Christiane Almond sat down to interview with senior leader in tall about what about Womens Education Girls Education women working . We said the equivalent of what many taliban leaders are saying today, or we can provide them separate places so that they can educate it or they can work and office, which is that, you know, until we can train our men to treat women better. We want them to stay at home and so some of their rhetoric has not changed at all. Despite this leverage the, it would be simplistic to see that nearly 20 years since the taliban was good across the country by us forces. Things have come full circle enough kind of the country has changed. Its people who have endured a violent occupation and corrupt governments have different expectations. And you political factors have also involved. The story is likely to hold Media Interest for a while longer. But focusing on the here and now will be insufficient to truly understand what has happened. I think the question thats only just beginning to be asked both in the media and in the broader public discourse is whether the War And Galveston was necessary in the 1st place. Recall it in 2001, the war and gamma. Some was widely seen as a good war. This is a time for Self Defense and the Iraq War was very much the illegal war. The war that no one wanted to debate about the war against iraq has divided many along the political spectrum. But we need to look at our failings and ive done this and iraq and the middle east, more generally, to try and understand why they keep happening. And i think the question that is now beginning to be asked is with either of these was actually necessary under the either of these was actually achieve anything good in the thought of bonds. Takeover of a kind of son had left the countrys media, which had grown dramatically over the past 2 decades in a state of uncertainty over their future. Those fears have increased over the past week. So phillips has been across the story. So what has happened . A lot me not protests have been taking place in a number of cities, and there have been numerous reports of journalists being arrested and beaten in carbon on wednesday, the editor of a newspaper at the r t. A rose said that police detained 5 of his reporters and then assaulted 2 of them while they were in custody. He shared this video, showing one of the journalists having difficulty walking after the attack, as well as these photos showing marks left by beatings in detention. Another Outlet Arianna News had a similar story to tell from the day before. And according to the afghan journalist association, a total of 14 reporters were arrested on that tuesday. Have there been any other indications about what our country unless can expect from the taliban approach to the media more broadly . Well, the taliban really just started to govern. What weve seen so far isnt exactly reassuring. And when they were lost in power, back in the 1990 s, they outward the use of the internet and they confiscated and destroyed and numerous tv sets font. When they took cobble last month, they werent pains to change perception. One official sat down for an interview with perhaps the august a female presenter on the countrys most widely watched private channel. The hollow news. And in the taliban 1st press conference, the Books Person have this to say. I would like to assure the media that we are committed to me down to be not within our cultural frameworks, private media walk, you can continue to be free and independent can can. So it was obviously a lot to interpretation and in the different outlets have responded to different ways. He stapled Costa Tv was very quick to take that Feel Mail Present is off indefinitely. Whereas taller news have stuck with that female. And because although not but hash to augment, she fled the country. Many reporters, both male and female, have followed suit. So that the Status Check on the media as it is enough kind of sign in the here. And now obviously the taliban have only been in control of cobbling for about a month now. However, you and another producer and i team, maybe youve been tracking conditions for off con journalists for longer. We have ahmed and i have been speaking with 3 african media workers about their experiences for the past 20 years. The 1st a Season Photo Journalist then as a reporter who actually had to flee her Home Province after the advance of the taliban. And finally, a Media Security Specialist who actually helped the others to escape to cobble which was then a safe haven for journalists who were on the threat. As youll see in our report, all of that changed practically overnight when the city fell to the taliban. Ok, thank you. We bring you that report now on the past, present and future of the media, enough kindest. On as told by off con journalists in order to protect their identities, the journalists are played by actors. You can have a good telephone by going to listen to all about us to come to us wilson complaint its withdrawal of forces from afghanistan after 20 years of fighting at least 13 regional capitals have been taken in just the past 2 weeks leaving couple and just a handful of is that Government Control i, most of the north of the country has been taken over. Those who escaped to coppell are staring at uncertainty me. Its hard to express just how much pressure journalists are under enough on the stuff. Every time i am at work, i have the feeling that im being followed that someone will attack me. Im anxious all the time. One of the most significant gave enough on the sun over the past 20 years, has been Press Freedom. That is now crumbling before my eyes. We have lost 2 decades of achievements in one go. A society that managed to start from nothing and find its foot thing. Now has a sensor 20 here is on. Everything is being lost. I came into the Media Field in 2001 just as we were going through a huge evolution of the situation was quite new for women in off on a stone. And it was difficult for a young lady to stand there holding a big come amongst all the others. Gradually, i managed to fit in, i finally began traveling to different provinces and my photos started being seen worldwide. The reason i work as a Photo Journalist is to reflect the things that are happening and of one song. I wanted to express myself through positive images of my company. My friends and family are always trying to stop me going for certain places. But my answer is, i have to go, this is my job. I was told that this is almost like a kind of suicide and that i shouldnt do it. But i conscious give up my career. Right now. I am stuck in cumberland, a Security Situation has stopped our work and i can travel to other parts of the country like i used to. Its created the gap between the media and society. Were no longer free to work because we have been over the last 20 years. My colleagues and i are working around the clock to help with cheap, generally safe. Our job is harder today than at any other time that I Cant remember. Often the collapse off the taliban in 2001 with published hundreds of media outlets. The fact that we have the best Press Freedom record in the entire region is the one of the most significant success stories of, of con the sun. But Press Freedom came at a great cost since 2001 that we have lost more than 100 journalists and media workers, enough kind of fun. And this really escalated in late 2020 day. The believe her body. I just saw that one more. Le patch up saw malala pins jewish color never malala may once was a very well known journalist for intercourse tv. That was extremely, extremely painful for me. She worked closely with our organization to help other journalists just a few months later in march this year, 3 of her colleagues at the same network were also killed. Just say, call them and itll be soon, and it costs Food And Bash f a on a House And None got har into call. Da da should. And that was one of the most difficult things in my car. Yes. So many journalists have had to leave their homes and come to couple for their safety. We are fighting to ensure that we do not lose the spirit that malala and her Colleagues Fault for whenever we heard stories about the journalist being killed, wed mourn them like we had lost a member of our own family. Would make us feel like any minute we could be next. Ah, i started working for local media 13 years ago. We used to work without any problems or threats. But over the last year, as the taliban began to take control of parts of the country, our work gradually became impossible. The radio stations in some of those provinces are completely off the air. Now, i spoke to my colleagues that the taliban had stormed their officers and accused them of working for the government. I and the number of other reporters begun receiving death threats from the taliban. I s k p and other groups. If we had stayed in our provinces, we are, our families would have been killed. So some help we managed to go to a secure safe house in a couple. Today the media and a phone is done is in a miserable and worrying condition for the past 20 years. The afghan government has been very vocal about being committed to womens rights and freedom of speech. But where is that commitment . Now . Suddenly it feels as though we are turning the clock back for 2 years. All our achievement full, ive been wasted and we will be silenced once again. Are just going to bring you these live exclusive pictures here taliban fighters in the sites. The president show palace. Ah, anguish and agony, 15000 americans and minimal wreck and try to escape couple. Ah, just that as it gets out, thousands upon thousands transferred me. I was one of the lucky ones. My family and i managed to board the plane took up. And now we are in a new location. We are safe now. But my colleagues and i are sealed, trying to do everything we can to help all the journalists sill enough on sun. I dont think there will be anything close to freedom of the press enough on a son under the Tyler One who had taken from the safe house to the airport and evacuated on the american military plane to katara where i am now. I am safe. But my family are still enough, one is done in my Home Province. I was a successful Freelance Reporter for local and international media. I was the breadwinner for my family. And today im a refugee in another country. The taliban Spokes Person talk about respecting freedom of the press. But in couple now as well as in many provinces, many journalists are being beaten and harassed. Journalists that remain in for honest on especially female ones, are in mortal danger all the time. Ever since the taliban entered the city, i have been at the airport with my family trying to leave. I have been given offers to go alone, but i cannot leave my family behind. I am receiving help from 2 major international outlets. I work for regularly, but i have very little hope i will be able to get out. Even the N G O that work to protect journalists and of on a stone has left in fear for their life. Journalists in this country are now completely alone. I want to work, i want to practice journalism. I want to show the rest of the world. What is happening here . I cant me, [000 00 00;00] me. I its been 20 years since the September 11th attacks 20 years that have re shaped global warfare. Geo politics and the media from washington to carbon, to bog that im beyond the war on terror is still making headlines as country unless fear for their feed. Him news outlets on the outside are still struggling to get past the spin to reality. That is much that after 20 years has not changed. Well see you next time.
