Three years ago a World Health Organization team led by an Indian malariologist went to Kundus. In two years malaria was under control and the region was liberated from the curse of Genghis Khan. The saying now is, "If you choose to prosper, go to Kundus." Food acres have been opened up. Oil has been discovered-by United Nations experts. Vast cotton tracts are under cultivation. A big cotton mill at Pul-i-Kumri, the first modern industry in Afghanistan, has been staffed by immigrants and bales of raw cotton are being exported across the Khyber Pass.
