AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-SOCIAL
To go with story 'Afghanistan-unrest-social,FOCUS' by Ben Sheppard
In this photograph taken on December 7, 2014, Afghan shopkeeper Farid drinks tea with a friend in his carpet shop on Chicken Street in Kabul. The tennis club is deserted, the Thai restaurant is closed and lakeside picnics are cancelled. The US-led war in Afghanistan brought a flood of international aid workers, diplomats and security contractors to Kabul, creating a frenetic social scene that is now a distant dream. A series of Taliban attacks on expat hang-outs shattered any illusions that foreign civilians were safe in the city, and those places still open have bored waiters and empty tables. As the United States and its allies officially end their 13-year war on December 31, Afghanistan appears in the grip of worsening violence, and the remaining foreign workers have retreated further inside fortified compounds.
