Corruption in Afghanistan; Green Kibbutz and Combat Barbie.
Corruption in Afghanistan
We hear from Herat in western Afghanistan where a new children's hospital needed extensive repairs almost as soon as it opened because of corruption and defective workmanship. The 麻豆社's Harun Najafizada tells us about other examples he has seen of inappropriate or sub-standard projects, and describes how corruption affects ordinary Afghans.
