Afghanistan's Search for Peace 'Bird Market'

Seamus Murphy

Newsweek/NY Times Magazine

The Afghan people live their lives as they always have done through their history , at once both the victims and ultimate survivors of their own fate. A Bodahna bird owner tosses his bird in the air to improve his spirits before duelling and to keep him warm. The Bodahna is a desert bird that thrives in hot conditions, unlike this chilly winter's morning in Kabul. November 2004
