Afghan warlrods media moghuls

Media in Afghanistan is dominated by warlords, as Sahar Saba says.

Also, since the beginning of the Karzai regime in 2002, twenty Afghan journalists have been murdered while over 200 violent physical attacks against journalists have been reported. Many have fled Afghanistan after receiving threats against them or their families. One young journalist, Kambaksh, was sentenced to death. Several remain in jail after being arrested for their work. Radio and television stations, print media, and Internet services have been attacked, blocked, damaged, and even burned to the ground by government and other politico-religious agents and gangs.
