// HEART LAND //
Christoph Bangert – currently in Japan documenting the aftermath of the earthquake and Tsunami – will be returning to the Arghandab and Zhari Districts of Kandahar Province to photograph the ongoing conflict between Nato forces, the Afghan Army and Police, warlords, private security contractors and the Taliban. It is in Kandahar province, the birthplace and heartland of the Taliban movement, that local support is strongest and the insurgency is thought to be largely homegrown. With the warming weather in spring the Taliban fighters will return from their sanctuaries in Pakistan and will put to test the efforts of the US led Nato forces to win over the local population.
