This special program presents comprehensive information on the history of Bagram, the development of the air base from the reign of King Zahir Shah to the present day, and the current strategic significance of this center.
The program also highlights Bagram’s strategic value during the Kushan Empire. Under King Kanishka, Bagram served as the summer capital and held a special place in the rivalries along the Silk Road.
It further explores the role of the base during the Soviet invasion, the two-decade presence of the U.S. and NATO, the structure of the Bagram prison, and the details of the base’s construction.
The program also analyzes debates over the possible return of the United States, the reactions of China and Russia, and the concerns of Afghans that the region could once again be drawn into a new conflict.
You can watch this program on Wesal TV’s official YouTube channel.
