Eleven minutes of reporting on the genocide of a people and the devastation of their land! The scanty American news coverage of the Afghan War is even more outrageous. considering that the horrible statistics continue to mount since the Soviet invasion in 1979. With a prewar population of approximately 15 million. Afghanistan is now home to fewer than 10 million Afghans. Over 1 million have been killed or wounded. Nearly 5 million more. the worlds largest refugee population. are in exile in Pakistan. Iran. and elsewhere. And now. in a move reminiscent of so many genocides of years past. the Kabul regime has announced plans to resettle up to 300.000 Afghans.
