Afghanistan: a country misunderstood, depressed by conflict, fighting for stability. A country, thought of as inhospitable, is in fact home to some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. Yes, there has been war, their country has been torn, but they are a strong people, just like any other, searching for peace among this chaotic world.nnI went to Afghanistan in April of 2014 looking to see the real nature of this country.

www.billgentile.comnnWhile embedded with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (24thMEU) in Afghanistan in 2008, I made thie brief video of New York Times Photojournalist Tyler Hicks as he prepared and then transmitted images from one of the most unforgiving locales on earth to the Times photo desk in New York. At the time I met Tyler, I was working on a piece in Afghanistan's Helmand River Valley, along the border with Pakistan, for NOW on PBS. (Titled, "Afghanistan: The Forgotten War," the piece was nominated for a national Emmy Award.) I think the video of Tyler illustrates the technology that has revolutionized the craft of visual journalism. More importantly, it gives viewers a sense of how professional, articulate and dedicated some of the practitioners of our craft can be. Tyler Hicks is an extraordinarily talented photojournalist and a role model for all who want to devote themselves to the craft.nnI am an independent journalist and documentary filmmaker teaching at American University in Washington, DC.

--Part audio as incoming -- Chaos on the streets of eastern Afghanistan as the International Committee of the Red Cross comes under attack. At least one Afghan guard is killed the second major assault on a humanitarian organization in less than a week. Seven staff members, believed to be the total number of foreign workers at the ICRC in Jalalabad, were rescued by Afghan police during the attack. Authorities say a suicide bomber and three gunmen were involved in the attack. No one is immediately claiming responsibility for the attack -- but concerns are mounting over how Afghan security forces will cope with an intensifying insurgency once most foreign troops leave by the end of next year.

By 2014, in line with a pledge made by President Barack Obama, America aims to have withdrawn all its combat troops from Afghanistan. Indeed, quietly and unobtrusively, that process has already begun. As units come to the end of their tour of duty they are not being replaced, military hardware is being packed into containers and trucks ready for the long trip home and responsibility for the country's security is gradually being handed over to units of the Afghan Army and police. People & Power has been tracking the countdown to the withdrawal through an occasional series of films on the latter days of the Nato coalition's long ground war against the Taliban. Less

It's a waiting game in Afghanistan. Foreign combat forces are expected to leave the country by the end of next year -- handing security responsibility to Afghan forces. Brigadier General Gunter Katz in Kabul who was made available to Reuters by the Pentagon, says insurgents are watching the clock. SOUNDBITE, Brigadier General Gunter Katz, saying (English): "If we are honest we have to expect that the Taliban wants to wait us out. That is very clear. " He says its a losing strategy. SOUNDBITE, Brigadier General Gunter Katz, saying (English): "Our clear message is the Taliban can not wait us out. And the reason is quite clear. First of all the Afghan security force is capable enough to take full responsibility of security before 2014. And secondly, and this is also very clear this country -- Afghanistan -- will never be left alone any more. And the international community will stay committed in Afghanistan after 2014."

WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT Chaos outside Afghanistan's Supreme Court.

The parliamentary government of Afghanistan has voted to reject a proposal that would have passed laws stopping girls younger than 16 from getting married, along with protecting other women’s rights issues.The parliamentary government of Afghanistan has voted to reject a proposal that would have passed laws stopping girls younger than 16 from getting married, along with protecting other women’s rights issues. The proposal would have created laws that protect rape victims from being charged with fornication or adultery, and banned the tradition of buying and selling women into marriage to settle disputes. Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai was in support of the proposal, but members of the parliament felt that it “violated Islamic principles.”The discord between parliament and the President shows a political divide prior to elections that are set for April of 2014.The United Nations Children’s Fund said that 57 percent of brides in Afghanistan are reportedly under the age of Less

A blast in the Afghan capital Kabul kills three and wounds dozens more - less than two hours before a ceremony to mark the formal handover by NATO of security in the country to Afghan forces. The target of the bomb was a member of the High Peace Council whose motorcade was passing through the area. The cleric was not hurt, but the incident highlights concern over how the 352,000-strong Afghan army will handle such attacks once they control their own security. About 10 kilometres away, Afghan President Hamid Karzai remained upbeat. During a ceremony and news conference with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Karzai said the handover was one of his greatest desires and will hold significant meaning to the people of Afghanistan. (SOUNDBITE) (English) AFGHAN PRESIDENT HAMID KARZAI SAYING: "To have the Afghan forces in command of themselves and in service of the country. For the people of afghanistan this is equally, perhaps more of a great day Less
