Afganistan očakáva ťažobný boom

Afganistan sa vynára ako biznisové ohnisko, kde na obzore stojí ťažobný boom. Odhaduje sa, že hodnota minerálnych zdrojov krajiny je min. $1 bilión. Na uchmatnutie z koláča už čakajú US, UK, GE, RU, CN a IN. (viď. aj tinyurl.com). Mimochodom, každému už je snáď jasné, že novodobé invázne vojny, prevraty alebo ako ich už nazveme majú prevažne ekonomické pozadie...

A war-torn nation, grappling with huge problems--which are so intricately intertwined, that disentangling them looks to be a herculean task--solutions for the same seem to be ever evading.

A country where violence is the norm, where aid agencies have lost count of human casualties, where corruption is rampant (famine hit Somalia is the only country that beats Afghanistan in Transparency International ranking of worst corrupt countries), where the infrastructure is damn poor, where kids respond better to gun shots than black boards, one would think Afghanistan is the wrong place to do business.

Wrong!

Afghanistan is evolving as a business hotspot where a mining boom is very much in the offing and India, China, Russia, Germany, UK and US are all warming up to the great Afghan challenge! Going by the estimates of various agencies, Afghan mineral wealth can hover around $1 trillion in value.
