hier eine kleine geschichte wie ich in Kabul spazieren war. Gwen, ein Franzose , kam auch in Kabul an, udn seine Tasche wurde von Air India aber in Delhi vergessen, also habe ich als Organisator in Kabul täglich Stressmail bekommen, daß ich die Tasche organisieren soll, da dort was wichtiges drin war. Endlich kam sie in Kabul an. Wir konnten sie aber nicht direkt abholen, also kam unser Projektleiter auf eine glorreiche Idee, sie mit Taxi zum Camp zu schicken. Den Rest liest ihr in der Mail an meine Projektleitung.
Hallo alle,
hier eine kleine Geschichte aus AFG: das ist einfach ein
unkommentierter Bericht von mir an die Projektleitung zu einem kleinen
Vorfall gestern, zur Erklärung Gwen ist ein Arbeitskollege, der seine
Tasche am Flughafen vergessen hat, WH steht für Camp Warehouse in
Kabul, wo ich gerade bin, BW für die Bundeswehr.
Hallo all,
I have had a security issue today, of which I wanted to report to you.
It was a little like the thing that happened to Thilo in Fay, but a
little different, so I want also to warn everyone.
Today Gwens bag had to arrive with a taxi right in front of main gate
at WH, and I had to pick it up, because Gwen has not got an ID-Card
yet to get near the main gate, and I also know all Georgian guys who
secure the main gate, so it would be the least problems that way.
I asked BW if I could do it alone, or if I need someone armed who goes
with me. They told me, that if the taxi gets directly to the main gate
as I was told, there are enough Georgian guys there and I do not need
any extra measures.
So I went with Gwen to the gate. Gwen was not allowed to accompany me
after the first block, because he has not had an ID. So the Georgian
guys accompanied me to the main gate. At that moment I have seen that
the taxi stands not right in front of me, but 130 m away, because they
were afraid of soldiers. I showed the taxi guy to come to the gate,
but he was afraid of soldiers, and came only 50 m nearer. In that
situation I thought : Ok, it is only about 80 m, you have Georgian
soldiers behind you, and you want to get that damned bag. It was a big
mistake. Georgian soldiers are not allowed to leave the main gate, so
I went to taxi guy alone and asked soldiers to cover me. Everything
went good, I paid the driver 20 € in cash (no invoice, but I hope I
will get it paid :-)), and at that moment afghan kids have seen that I
have money.
About 10-15 of them ran to me smiling andcrying :Money,money, and as I
said No money, they have got out of somewhere stones and sticks and
started to pull at Gwens beg, hit it with stones and sticks and
meanwhile trying to steal something out of my pocket ( I think they
did not get anything, but I am not sure). As they did not get
anything, they wanted to throw stones at me and hit me with sticks.
For somebody it could be funny, but if 10-15 afghan kids want to throw
stones at you and hit you with sticks, it is really not funny,
especially when the next soldiers are a little bit away and are not
allowed to leave their places and you don't really can do anything(no
weapon, bag in one hand, my wallet and ID Card in the other). My luck
was that Georgian guys I knew, took there rifles up as if they were
going to shoot, and the kids saw that and run away.
So as a warning to everyone here in AFG: even if someone tells you to
meet at the main gate, never, never go there without armoured guys
from Bundeswehr, by no means, because instead of 3 meters it can be
100 meter and then everything can happen. It was my mistake that I did
not turn around and went back as I have seen how far the taxi man was,
but I shall surely not do it anymore even for thousand important bags
in the world. At the moment everything is fine, and I can laugh about
it now, but as I was in the situation itself it really was not funny
and I shall surely never do things like that anymore.
Als Antwort darauf bakm ich von der Projektleitung folgende Mail:
Dear Eugene,
We have been notified of your misadventure yesterday in front of the main gate at Warehouse camp.
At this occasion, we want to reiterate you the necessity to strictly observe the security rules laid down by the German army and that you are committed to respect.
If such an event, that endangered your personal integrity but also the image of Astrium and Amarante were to recur, a repatriation would be considered by a short notice.
Hoping that this message is clear enough,
Diese Mail ist mir sehr aufgestoßen, da ich in voller Absprache mit BW und der Projektleitung gehandelt habe, damit auf keinen Fall die Sicherheitsregeln der BW verletzt habe, und sowieso keinen Imageschaden für die Firma verursacht habe, also verlangte ich nach Entschuldigung für die Art, in der diese Mail geschrieben war, die ich später auch von der offiziellen Projektleitung auch bekam.
Das war die Geschichte von dem Spaziergang, als nächstes kommen ein Paar Worte zu Anschlägen und kurze Berichte zu Mazar-e-Sharif und Hazrat e Soltan
