“Afghanistan:
A day in the life, one year later”
One year after
the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban has remained in power with a
promise, so far undelivered, to govern differently than it did before the
American invasion in 2001. In focus: These photos offer a glimpse into how life
has changed for the millions of Afghans at home and abroad.

the Afghan government.)
