The Boys

fence In a dusty courtyard, behind a high mesh, a group of Young People plays a busy football game, while others are, in order from the side line and watch.

These are some of the in Afghanistan, The Most vulnerable and The Most troubled children. Inmates from the Kabul Juvenile Rehabilitation Center.

A small, excited crowd of young press to talk About their faces up to The Fence with us.

"Some of us people killed... some of us are thieves", a lanky teenager who tells me When I ask what they are accused of.

You smile and laugh, But they are not the severe cases Here . The Centre normally holds About 300 inmates between the ages of 12 and 18. On average, About half of the Islamic state (IS) and The Taliban are accused in militant groups.

to control The Taliban or to deny About half of the in Afghanistan, have lead to a deadly war against The Afghan Government and the U.S.-led international forces since he was overthrown, 2001.

The staff try and keep the categories of prisoners separated, in order to avoid fighting between those with The Taliban and the Islamic state group, which have collided with each other, out There in The World - and to prevent the young because of "General crime" is always a radical.

to talk to The guys with me on the farm all live in the Ground Floor of The Bright green of the accommodation block. The Taliban and the members are to be kept in the two floors above them.

"You are terrorists, We Are not," says a scornful.

The BBC has been given rare access to the Centre , surrounded by high concrete walls with guard towers and armed guards, the scattered around the periphery. In a quiet corner, a Social Worker leads us to three alleged members of. The Group is new and far less powerful in Afghanistan than The Taliban , But the responsibility for dozens of deadly Suicide bombings.

A, wore an electric blue salwar kameez, and arrested with a glare in his eyes, claims he was wrongly. Many of the guys in the middle are cautious About the disclosure of their activities in The Past , even if we keep their identities anonymous. Nevertheless, he gradually opens up About his extreme Views .

"The Foreigners have done nothing wrong to me, But The Prophet said, the Jihad against them must continue, until The Day of judgment. "

The extent of his radicalisation is even more pronounced, as he explains why he hates The Afghan Government , the Nato and US-led international forces.

"This is an Islamic country, But look at Kabul, it is full of brothels. There is so much adultery and homosexuality. There are musicians, and, God Forbid , There are even people who have sex with their own mothers and sisters. "

He is from a province in The East of the country, and his description of The Afghan capital, Kabul, as a pit of debauchery no resemblance to reality. Nevertheless, it is clear it is something he believes deeply.

At the same time, There is a softer side to him. Despite only the beginnings of a beard on his face, he is a father to a One -year-old girl.

"I don't want You to See Me Here , You will cry," he says.

As The End of The Interview , and we go out, we pass the cells of the accommodation block. In One , a group of young boys dangled their legs in between The Blue metal bars in The Window and sing a song and banging out a beat on a small plastic jug.

You giggle as You tell me, The Song is About "love", But I realize that Many of You have tattoos joints scratched on your hand, arms or ankle.

Some are raw images of weapons or daggers, - in Persian language - reads "have a bad life and a worse future," to kill The Other ", in order to survive".

Kabul suffers from high levels of crime with kidnappings and violent attacks frequently. Unemployment among Young People is More Than 30% according to the World Bank .

"Kill to survive?" I Ask You A Question. "Is that what You are feeling, how life?"

The Mood was briefly But strongly, to serious.

"When You work as a laborer, asks You to earn only 200 Afghanis (£2) A Day , how can You feed your family?". "You have to steal and Rob. "

Then, another strikes up his song again, and we will leave You giggling in your cell.

the following day, we meet a dizzying stream of young, IS a recruit who, after their propaganda on Social Media , a 17-year-old Taliban fighter who is smiling, claiming that he has killed "a lot" of U.S. Soldiers - a claim that is almost definitely not True .

One of The Boys is, is Zakir, a tall, lanky 14-year-old. He looks like a pretty stupid teenager, whose Deep Voice seems too old for his youthful face. But he is proud of his connections to The Taliban .

"it was My task to explosives," he tells me. "The Taliban came to The Village in the night time, and I would like to tell You what was going on. "

Zakir says that he joined The Group after he "as they prayed and searched for people," When visiting relatives in the areas under their control, and the observation of The Taliban propaganda videos.

He told me that he "secretly" and that His Family never knew. In fact, his father and older brother fighting on The Other side of The Conflict , as members of The Afghan intelligence services.

he Was never worried About The Explosives , which he planted, could be father at The End of the murder of his own? He insisted that he operated in areas that visited his father never targeting local pro-Government militias he accused of "robbing and stealing".

Zakir, how Many of The Boys seemed to have a good relationship with the staff of the Centre . But he was clear that The Taliban wanted to join again.

"Here , we pray five times A Day , and have lessons. But if I'm free I'm going To My parents And Then I will join The Taliban again. They are fighting for The Truth . "

Some of his words sounded As If they were copied from propaganda videos. But There were also insights into how a child-how he was.

What would he do if his parents ban him from the re-entry of The Taliban ?

"Then I'm not going to... But if You die, I will. "

The staff of The Boys try to deradicalise. It is a school, in the middle, with teaching taking place behind thick metal doors, to be in what cells are used.

One of The Most popular topics is the Islamic studies.

Mubashir Nazari is cut off by a heavy set man, with a beard. He leads a class of About 25 boys, Many accused will, in The Taliban or IS - who Quran verses to recite.

He admits, it's easy to change your mind, But says that the lessons that make a difference.

"When You First come in the middle, and You can hear that it is a Suicide attack in Kabul, they are happy and say, 'see how Many people we have killed? This is the jihad'.

"Then we ask him, 'what is The Sin of those who killed children in the Explosion? Or people go the only to work?'. And we say, 'where is the Islam allow You to kill innocent people?'. At The End , When You hear that You are upset that a Suicide bombing himself. "

There are also classes in academic subjects, with basic education are taught, for those who never been in school before.

Abdullah, a slim 16-year-old, with Bright Eyes , and a small traditional the cap perched on his head, which tells me he spent two months with The Taliban , and was detained on the way to a shootout between The Group and security forces in Western Afghanistan.

He was inspired to take part in a madrassa, or religious school to write, When he and his friends started in his area, which is under the control of The Taliban .

"The Preacher said, it is their duty, to fight and to die in the name of Allah," he said.

But now, Abdullah is One of the centers of the best students, although he has little to no formal education in The Past .

"I Am in class 10 and I'm waiting for my results so can say in class 11," he with pride. "The Taliban just put the ammo in the hand, and You say to fight, But When I unlocked I'm going to study from Here keep want. "

For the employees who try to form relationships with young as well as Abdullah, One of the biggest problems is The High turn-over in inmates.

the prisoners are to be released, on a regular basis or transfer, while There is a constant stream of fresh arrivals.

One morning, we see how the secret services drop-off joints a little boy who shaved his head, hand still in handcuffs.

The Doctor taking down his data says that Mental Health issues are widespread.

the Fourteen-year-old Mohammad looks especially nervous.
