Taliban Power Built on Heroin Money: The Helmand Connection
Taliban’s rise to power in Afghanistan was not driven by ideology alone.In this episode, we uncover how heroin money and the global drug trade became the real foundation of Taliban’s political and military dominance.Focusing on Helmand Province—the world’s largest opium-producing region—we explain how control over heroin production allowed the Taliban to build a parallel taxation system, fund fighters, purchase weapons, and secure local loyalty. By taxing farmers, laboratories, and smuggling routes, the group created a narco-finance model that outperformed the Afghan state itself.The episode also explores how drug trafficking routes through Pakistan a...

From Helmand to Homeland: PTSD, Redacted Truths, and the Coming 72-Hour Terror Attack on America | Ep. 269 | Pt. 3
The final chapter of Matthew Brunnemann’s gripping three-part appearance on Mike Drop. In Part 3, the former Marine intel specialist and author of War Business: The Hired Guns of Helmand Province pulls no punches as he talks leaving the Corps, battling unseen PTSD, transitioning to civilian life, and the four-year journey to turn his private journals into a published book. He and Mike dive deep into the big-picture failures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cultural incompatibilities that doomed nation-building, what America should (and shouldn’t) have done after 9/11, and why the 2021 fall of Kabul still stings.

James Cowan: From Helmand to HALO - a British commander’s remarkable Afghanistan story (E67)
James Cowan has seen Afghanistan at its most intense: the frozen, “medieval” Kabul he first stepped into after the Taliban’s fall in 2001, the brutal peak of the NATO campaign in Helmand, and the country’s stunning collapse two decades later. He later took on a very different mission as head of the Halo Trust, working to clear the country of the deadly remnants of its wars. In this interview, he retraces that journey — from fighting the Taliban on the front lines to now negotiating with them so his teams can clear landmines and save lives. With rare candour, he reflect...

The Helmand River runs through it, and the majority of the hard people who occupy this land live near the river. The further west you go from Kandahar, the more austere life becomes. Helmand has no electrical grid, and over 99% of its people live without electricity. The Afghans in Helmand Province live in sca...

Ep 14: The Gardener of Laskhar Gah - Britain's Afghan Betrayal
When I worked at the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand Province, I was largely based at the Forward Operating Base in Lashkar Gah - the main city of Helmand. There, amid the dust and noise of an active military campaign, there was a small, beautifully tended garden inside the base. I’m going to be honest and say that I was too preoccupied with my own job ever to ask myself who was responsible for its upkeep- even as I enjoyed that little slice of tranquility and beauty almost every day.

The Stabilisation Discourse and ending War.’ British experience in Helmand, Afghanistan
Breakout session on ‘Post-conflict reconstruction and Peacebuilding’, first talk: Dr Stuart Gordon, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. 'Stabilisation' has emerged as a powerful policy discourse guiding international interventions in conflict areas. The UK has been amongst the forefront of states adopting and developing the 'stabilisation' model and has adapted government policy, processes and structures in its efforts to deliver 'stability' in both Iraq and Afghanistan's Helmand Province. Its experience in Helmand in particular is likely to shape both future UK approaches and that of other donor states. Consequently this paper focuses principally on the British experience of stabilisation in Afghanistan's Helmand Prov...
