After seeing this report, I will make sure to not forget the name of Claire Billet and Tahar Luden.
(Claire Billet) She has done a very good job, I am very much inpressed by the natural stand of this Western reporter, I am also thankfull for France 24, for Airing this in 2 lamguages,
I also recomend Claire and Tahar to recieve the highest awards for Jornalists, this report reminds me of how Roberd Fisk used to report, I realy apriciate your honosty,
I have one question, Have you seen any none Afgan insurgents ?
and are the none Afgan insurgents as free as the Taliban in traveling, and contact with local inhabitents, ?
Many thanks again to France 24, God wiling keep up the good work,
I WATCH THE REPORT LATELY AND I ADMIRE THE COURAGE OF THE REPORTER AND HER SENSE OF JUDGEMENT.AS A MATTER OF FACT SHE DESERVE AN AWARD FIRST FOR HER NEUTRAL STAND AND ABOVE ALL HER COURAGE.
Earlier Today I saw this report on France24 accidentally and I was forced to watch the whole report. In the end when the reporter was asked questions and the way she replied and answered, I really liked it. It was for the first time ever I heard any reporter speaking the truth. I just want to thank France24 Channel and the brave and intelligent reporter for broadcasting the true report about Taliban & Afghanistan !
Thank you Claire Billet For this amazing report !
This is message is for those who think Afghans has no respect for women ! From a woman journalist in Afghanistan
Contrary to what one would believe, it’s easier for a woman to work in Afghanistan. Afghans and Pashtuns are warm towards foreigners and women. The Taliban ensured my security. In fact, female foreigners are a third gender for them. On one hand, I slept with other women, but during the day I spent my time with the fighters, the men. I was there during Ramadan and they fed me. And when I left, they offered me a robe and bracelets.
Furthermore, it’s easier to win their confidence because in their eyes, there are fewer chances for a woman to be a spy.
For this reportage, the Taliban commander and I agreed that I would dress like a man during the day to avoid drawing attention. There were other fighters who weren’t really part of the group I was with.
