Afghanistan – 1980 and file
Against the background to the boycott-affected Olympic Games in Moscow, the main cause of the boycott – the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan – shows little sign of ending. The contingent of Soviet troops withdrawn by Moscow appears to have been replaced by others, and the main cities and roads are under the control of Russian and Afghan government forces. Outlying towns and villages sympathetic to the anti-Communist Moslem guerrillas – the Mujaheddin – have been bombed, forcing the fighters deep into the mountains. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans have crossed into Pakistan to avoid the fighting, and Mujaheddin groups wanting to return and fight find it increasingly difficult to do so because of the massive Soviet presence.

    This looks like it could be from any day in Afghanistan in the past thirty years.
