Så smeller det. Etter en av de aller mørkeste dagene for det norske forsvar etter andre verdenskrig, skal ingenting bli helt som før, heller ikke for våre hjemmehelter, Bjørg, Caroline og Monja.

*) Iran's President Raisi, FM found dead at helicopter crash site Iranian state media has reported that President Ebrahim Raisi alongside the country's foreign minister, and other officials have been found dead at the helicopter crash site. Rescue teams had been scouring the area since Sunday afternoon after the helicopter went missing. Early Monday, relief workers located the helicopter, with state TV confirming the president's death. *) Ireland aims to recognise Palestinian statehood this month Ireland's prime minister announces that the country will recognise a Palestinian state by the end of this month while emphasising that this decision does not imply a severance of ties with Israel. Sources close to Israeli President Isaac Herzog have said that Herzog cautioned Harris that unilateral recognition of Palestine might jeopardise any chance of Hamas releasing hostages it holds in Gaza and could incite further attacks on Israel. *) Fresh floods kill 66 in Faryab, northern Afghanistan Fresh floods in Faryab province, northern Afghanistan, have killed 66 people, according to a provincial official. This latest incident adds to a series of deadly floods this month that have devastated the country. The flooding has damaged over 1,500 houses, submerged more than 1,000 acres of agricultural land, and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of livestock. *) Taiwan's new president Lai Ching-te takes office Taiwan has inaugurated Lai Ching-te as its new president. Lai, a relative moderate, will continue the self-governing island's policy of de facto independence while aiming to strengthen its defences against China. Lai succeeds Tsai Ing-wen, who guided Taiwan through eight years of economic and social progress despite the Covid-19 pandemic and increasing military threats from China. *) Israelis march for Netanyahu's resignation, immediate hostage negotiations Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in multiple cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa. The demonstrators demanded a hostage exchange with Palestinian resistance groups, the ousting of Netanyahu's government, and the scheduling of early elections.
For many in the international community, the Taliban has fallen short of its promises that would have led to its diplomatic recognition. But one country is looking past those shortcomings. Earlier this month, China and the Taliban signed an oil extraction agreement. It was the Taliban's first major foreign deal since taking power in 2021 and comes amid dramatic shifts in regional power balances. Speaking during the signing ceremony, the Taliban's top petroleum official said the deal would extract oil from the northern Sar-e Pul, Jawzjan, and Faryab provinces. China, according to Taliban officials, will invest 150 million dollars a year under the contact, and will create 3,000 local jobs. A year after the US's chaotic withdrawal, and Russia's own distraction from its ongoing assault on Ukraine, China has emerged as the premier power looking to tap the country's vast resources, estimated to be worth more than 1 trillion dollars. This latest oil deal came a day after the Taliban said its forces had killed eight Daesh members, including some who were behind an attack last month on a hotel in Kabul, frequented by Chinese businessmen.

* Seks år etter at norske soldater dro fra Faryab i Afghanistan, får Taliban stadig mer kontroll over provinsen. * I USA er ungdomsopprøret til skolegutten Ethan litt spesielt. Da han fylte 18. tok han alle vaksinene moren hans hadde nektet ham. * Korrespondentbrevet handler om de som steller for andre i Beirut. * Og kan Demokratene i USA bli sosialdemokrater? Det spør vi om i podkasten "Krig og fred".
Qais Wahidi vokste opp i Mazar-e Sharif. Han er ti år gammel når Taliban tar over hjembyen hans og jentene må slutte på skolen og begynne med burka. Qais ligger hjemme på gutterommet og leser en bok av Ahmed Shah Massoud, den siste som holder stand mot Taliban: Om hvordan avsløre russiske spioner. 10 år senere får hen selv muligheten til å kjempe mot Taliban sammen med de internasjonale styrene og ender som tolk for den norske kontigenten i Faryab. Her avslører han at Talibans har en mulvarp blant de norske styrkene. Men de norske styrkene vil ikke høre på han, og han må leve med vissheten om at alt han sier og gjør rapporteres rett til Taliban. Hva vil Taliban gjøre med familien hans? Simen Sætre har ført historien i pennen.
** Journalist ANDERS HAMMER har møtt krigsherren som tok over stafettpinnen da nordmennene dro. Han tar livet av opprørere han kjemper mot, surrer dem fast på bilpanseret.

Torunn L Haaland, Forskningsleder ved Institutt for forsvarsstudier Oslo Militære Samfund 07.03.2016 Å være i stand til å trekke de riktige lærdommene av løpende erfaringer i en militær operasjon, er et tema som har fått stor oppmerksomhet i forbindelse med de vestlige operasjonene i Irak og Afghanistan det siste tiåret. Basert på erfaringsrapportene til PRTet og intervju med PRT-sjefene, tar dette foredraget for seg hvordan og hva det norske Forsvaret lærte av erfaringene undervis i ISAF-operasjonen i Faryab i perioden 2007-2012. Hvilke lærdommer sitter Forsvaret igjen med etter et 10-år med operasjoner i Afghanistan? Les mer her.

-Norske soldater drar fra Faryab-provinsen i Afghanistan. De forlater ikke et land i fred - men et land rustet til borgerkrig, ifølge kritikerne. -Matprat.no pusher kjøtt på folk, stikk i strid med helsemyndighetenes råd, sier kommentator Hege Ulstein. Hun etterlyser politisk vilje fra landbruksministeren - som også får kritikk for å spre myter om matmangel i verden. -Norske forfattere spiller ingen stor rolle i Norge i dag, mener historiker. Tvert imot - forfatterne er vår tids popstjerner, svarer kulturredaktør. -Somalia har fått ny president. - Et grunnlag for håp, sier utviklingsminister Heikki Holmås. I studio: Sigrid Sollund.
