Af?nistan

Why is it that the BBC has taken to referring to Afghanistan by some strange non-English pronunciation? Every time some PC-appointed newsface with otherwise perfect English mentions the word, it's Af-h-nistan or Af-u-nistan or some similar noise.....

Not a big point, but why do they do it?

Sorry to hear the latest news - RIP.
