Interesting documentary here, examining the delicate nature and hazards of tribal negotiations in Afghanistan.
The producers are American and it seems to have debuted yesterday on Al Jazeera English’s YouTube Channel.
The opening observation that by transacting directly with the tribes they will become independent local governments moves to the root of the tension, as they are already the de facto governments in so many ways absent other trappings of the state yet an enabled central government remains the strategy.
