AFGHANISTAN-SOCIETY-PIGEON

In this photograph taken on October 3, 2012, Ahmad, an Afghan man who lives in the hill side neighbourhood of Jamal Mina in Kabul and makes a living by making and selling wheelbarrows, shows off two new born pigeon chicks at his home in Kabul. Ahmad, who is the sole bread winner of the family says he owns about 20 pigeons, and that taking care of the pigeons and watching them fly is one of the few entertainments he enjoys. Ahmad was the sole bread winner for his family during the civil war and the subsequent Taliban regime that followed in the early 90's. When talking about the rumoured uncertain future of his country when NATO troops leave Afghanistan in 2014, he says he hopes that the Taliban will not come back as that would mean a tougher existence and not being able to own and fly his pigeons.
