Afghanistan’s Failing Ecosystem
BBC – This is what happens when you fail to build a viable ecosystem:
“I am here to transfer my job from Paktika border police to Khost. Inside the ministry they are asking me for $200. But I didn’t join the police force to pay money and I don’t have that kind of money.”
“I am here to ask for my rights, but the people at the ministry are asking me for $15,000 to provide me with justice. How can this be right?”
“In the past when someone was asking for bribes he would do so in secrecy – but now it happens openly and no one seems to do any work without extra inducements.”
The keystone becomes the sole service provider, parasitic species swarm, and the garden gets walled in as.
