Helmand Afghanistan Sand

Helmand Afghanistan Sand

A Seabee assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 weathers a mild sand storm in Helmand, an Afghan province near the border with Pakistan. History shows that foreign troops' presence in Afghanistan results in an escalation of violence against civilians; extreme violence by foreign special forces was reported in a village in Helmand in 2007.

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
