Well it has been uncharacteristically not busy here. Something to do with the poppy harvest…hummm…seems that the powers that be want the Taliban to pay the growers for the poppies then take that from the Taliban. The implication I guess that it will get VERY busy once the poppy harvest is over…which unfortunately for our Det will be before we leave.
Interesting there is a poppy field supposedly right outside the wire here. I will try and get a picture of it. It all seems very confusing.
The picture above is from the URL below. Very recent articel
