Coalition leaflet "The enemies of Afghanistan can no longer bring villages under their control" (Afghanistan, c. 2006-2007)
Bilingual Pashto and Dari leaflet. The front claims that the enemies of Afghanistan can no longer bring villages under their control; the back says they cannot prevent children's education, calls the children the builders of Afghanistan, and asks readers to report anti-coalition militia activities. The tell is the one-sided claim of control and the label 'enemies of Afghanistan', which casts the armed opposition as foreign to the nation.
