Eventually back in Kabul after our forced exile, although barely 4 months have passed, we find the city quite changed. Northern alliance moudjahids in the streets, portraits of Commander Massoud, international soldiers, armies of brand new UN vehicles, shaved men and burqas walking alone without a maram, and thousand of new humanitarian actors… We barely recognize the place!
