bidrag til det afghanske samfunnet?
Film og samtale.
Film: Min fiendes fiende - Bedraget i Helmand
Filmen Min fiendes fiende - Bedraget i Helmand hevder
at danske militære styrker i Helmand-provinsen i Afghanistan
samarbeidet med en korrupt politistyrke som undertrykket
innbyggerne i regionen, misbrukte unge gutter seksuelt og benyttet
posisjonen til å drive utstrakt opiumshandel.
Filmen er en knusende kritikk av danske og britiske styrker i
Afghanistan. Var danskene naive hjelpere som ikke skjønte hva som
foregikk eller visste de hva de var med på, men brydde seg ikke?
Var NATOs oppdrag i Afghanistan noengang rettet mot å skape et
demokrati i Afghanistan? Eller var dette bare retorikk for å holde
styrkene der?
Samtale etter filmen:
Beskyldningene i filmen Min
fiendes fiende - Bedraget i Helmand føyer seg inn i en
lang rekke av saker der det har blitt dokumentert overtramp fra
internasjonale styrker i Afghanistan.
Vet vi nok om hva norske militære visste og kan ha bidratt til?
Hvilke spørsmål vil egentlig bli undersøkt i den nye evalueringen av
Norges innsats i Afghanistan og har den forrige evalueringen blitt
fulgt opp slik man forventet?
Debatt etter filmen med:
Martin Tamm Andersen (regissør),
Graeme Smith (International Crisis Group) og
Kristian Berg Harpviken (PRIO).
Ordstyrer: Stig Arild Pettersen.
NB: Samtalen holdes på engelsk.

Assistance or betrayal?
What remains to be examined regarding
Norway’s Afghanistan engagement.
In August 2021 Western forces left Afghanistan following twenty
years of military, political, and civil society presence. The
departure, although sped up by the victory of the Taliban over the
Afghan military, was settled in the February 2020 agreement
between the United States of America and the Taliban. The
agreement specified not only the U.S. military withdrawal, but
that of all foreign forces from Afghanistan.
In 2016, a commission led by Bjørn Tore Godal presented their
evaluation of the Norwegian engagement in Afghanistan from 2001 to
2014. Their conclusion was that Norway had failed to contribute to
meet the goal of contributing to a stable and democratic Afghan
state but had succeeded in being a good ally for the U.S. and
NATO.
The documentary Min fiendes fiende: Bedragene i Helmand
investigates allegations of Afghan police abusing young boys and
men in Helmand province. These events took place during a period
when Danish and British forces were present. In 2006, troops from
Denmark and the UK were sent to Musa Qala, a town in northern
Helmand, with the mission of defending local police forces against
Taliban insurgents. On the surface, the local police force
appeared to lead the West’s efforts to promote democracy and human
rights following the fall of the Taliban. In reality, however,
they operated as a violent, corrupt, and abusive drug cartel.
While both Danish and American authorities have publicly evaluated
and debated the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Norway's approach has
been markedly different. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Justice have all kept
their internal evaluations secret, keeping the matter firmly off
the public radar.
Earlier this year, it was decided that the Norwegian government
will evaluate the last part of Norway's involvement in Afghanistan
and the dramatic withdrawal from the country in 2021. What are the
most pressing questions to be addressed by the new evaluation? Has
the question of Norwegian collaboration with the Afghan security
forces, widely known for abusive practice, been sufficiently
examined? And what about Norwegian peace diplomacy and support for
human right defenders? Should any of the conclusions of the 2016
Godal report be revisited?
