Crossing Continents

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Afghanistan. NasirSaberi faces an uphill struggle-he's in charge of planning the reconstruction of Kabul, a city reduced to rubble by more than 20 years of civil war. His problems, as he explains to reporter Tim Whewell , are compounded by the huge influx of refugees who have returned to the city since the defeat of the Taliban a year ago. Things have improved since he started work at the beginning of the yearwithout a desk, a computer, or even paper and pens. But the scale of his task is daunting and already he is becoming worn down by red tape and the lack of funds available to him.
