Streaming video - 2021

Now that the Taliban have retaken Afghanistan, what will their administration be like? In this exclusive film, including an unprecedented interview with Muhammad Nabi Omari, one of the notorious ‘TALIBAN FIVE’, we see how the destinies of these five men summed up 20 years of war in Afghanistan. And how these same men will probably shape the next Taliban government. They were dubbed the ‘Taliban Five’, five high-ranking members of the Taliban government believed to be “the hardest of the hard-core”. When America invaded Afghanistan in 2001 they were sent straight to Guantanamo. They spent the next 13 years there, “too innocent to charge, too dangerous to release”, before being finally exchanged for the American soldier, Bowe ...Bergdahl. Five years later, they formed part of the Taliban delegation during the Doha peace talks. more
