  • The United States and Other Donor Countries Have Reportedly Invested $4 Billion in Afghan Roads
    June 6, 2014 Mr. William Hammink USAID Mission Director for Afghanistan Dear Director Hammink: The United States and other donor countries have reportedly invested $4 billion in Afghan roads. As you know, the United States provided a significant proportion of those funds. USAID alone invested over a billion dollars in road projects in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars provided by the Department of Defense (DOD). Following conversations that I had during my trip to Afghanistan last fall, I’m concerned that the U.S. government may be supporting road projects in Afghanistan that will be unsustainable due to not being properly maintained. In Kabul, a senior U.S. government official expressed his misgivings to me regarding the efficacy of U.S. and Afghan road maintenance efforts and stated that he believed maintenance problems pose a major challenge to the sustainability of Afghanistan’s transportation network. A recent report in the Washington Post stated that Highway 1, a critical piece of Afghanistan’s transport infrastructure, is nearly impassible at certain points due to damage caused by insurgent activity, coupled with a lack of road maintenance by the Afghan government.1 It’s reported that this road was built by U.S. and coalition partners at a cost of approximately $3 billion. The Washington Post article stated that USAID ceased funding Afghan government road maintenance programs in 2012, when the agency determined that Afghan government’s road maintenance efforts were inadequate. I am concerned that roads built at great risk and expense by the U.S. and other donors are not and will not be properly maintained.

  • Dating of Remains of Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens from Anatolian Region by ESR-US Combined Methods: Preliminary Results
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 5, ISSUE 05, MAY 2016 ISSN 2277-8616 Dating Of Remains Of Neanderthals And Homo Sapiens From Anatolian Region By ESR-US Combined Methods: Preliminary Results Samer Farkh, Abdallah Zaiour, Ahmad Chamseddine, Zeinab Matar, Samir Farkh, Jamal Charara, Ghayas Lakis, Bilal Houshaymi, Alaa Hamze, Sabine Azoury Abstract: We tried in the present study to apply the electron spin resonance method (ESR) combined with uranium-series method (US), for dating fossilized human teeth and found valuable archaeological sites such as Karain Cave in Anatolia. Karain Cave is a crucial site in a region that has yielded remains of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, our direct ancestors. The dating of these remains allowed us to trace the history, since the presence of man on earth. Indeed, Anatolia in Turkey is an important region of the world because it represents a passage between Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Our study was conducted on faunal teeth found near human remains. The combination of ESR and US data on the teeth provides an understanding of their complex geochemical evolution and get better estimated results. Our samples were taken from the central cutting where geological layers are divided into archaeological horizons each 10 cm. The AH4 horizon of I.3 layer, which represents the boundary between the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic, is dated to 29 ± 4 ka by the ESR-US model. Below, two horizons AH6 and AH8 in the same layer I.4 are dated respectively 40 ± 6 and 45 ± 7 ka using the ESR-US model.
