A low-key show, but very informative, on the current state of play in Afghanistan. The Soviets had made a big show, back in February, of withdrawing their troops (cf. Firing Line #759)--but since then, as Mr. Tomsen tells us, they have been massively supplying their puppet government in Kabul--"It's the biggest Soviet airlift since World War II." ... HK: "We have a country that's divided into so many ethnic groups and so many tribes and so many political parties--there are eight political parties in the coalition government in Peshawar--there are bound to be differences. And they're all armed. But it does not have any bearing at all on the performance against [the puppet government]."
