Abstract

The Situation in Afghanistan
January 8, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses about perilous position of the English troops in Kabul, Afghanistan. The author of this article had pointed out the dangers to which a British force wintering in Kabul would be exposed. A British army, having to pass the winter at Kabul, would be exposed to very considerable danger. It would be in complete isolation, surrounded by hostile tribes, with no crops upon the ground. At this moment there is not a single independent newspaper correspondent present with troops. Whatever information reaches the public passes through official channels and is carefully doctored before it is allowed to be published.
