US pushes to finish Afghan dam as challenges mount

January 6, 2013 RSS Feed Print

Sayed Rasoul is an Afghan engineer with decades spent in the management of Kajaki as well as the Kandahar and Helmand power grid. He says he's confident the dam will be completed and deliver the riches promised.

He also says he's certain that the Americans will be in Kajaki long after the last of the combat troops leave.

"Maybe the American forces will leave here," he said, "but the engineers will be with us."
