"We felt an earthquake", one civilian told us. He named others who died in the US airstrike in Afghanistan two weeks ago. The US still denies any civilians died. Here's our take: vimeo.com/243167230

#ResoluteSupport commander Gen. Nicholson says however that there is no sign of Daesh fighters from Syria or Iraq migrating to #Afghanistan

.U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has been busy. One strike in #Somalia -edition.cnn.com/2017/11/21/pol… - and one in #Libya.

"Farmers are not growing poppies for fun." New US tactic in #Afghanistan will only hurt us, not the #Taliban, say opium farmers. nyti.ms/2jTXgrL

In the increasingly opaque Afghan war the fight for Uruzgan province is probably the one least reported on. Hard to reach with phone connections down, w. little information offered fr. officials. Accrd to this, a large number of assaults has been repulsed pajhwok.com/en/2017/11/28/…
