Kamikazes strapped with explosives who blow themselves up in military bases of the US and allied forces; bombing attacks with remote control mechanisms against police stations and embassies, and attacks on government delegates and members of the judiciary; for the past two years, all of these compose the daily routine in Afghanistan. The "revival of the Taliban" is a fact. And Pakistan is the new centre of developments in Central Asia, for it is from its grounds that the new waves of fighters with the black turbans, and their continuous attacks, unexpectedly shift the geopolitical map of Central Asia, as well as the international balances.
Yorgos Avgeropoulos enters "the land where no western man has ever set foot", the tribal areas of the Pashtun in Pakistan, their base of operations against the US troops in Afghanistan. He seeks the causes and prospects of a "revival" of the fighters with the black turbans, amongst others through the first interview ever granted to a Greek reporter by the president of Pakistan, General Musharaf.
