Picture taken March 28, 2013 shows an Afghan female prisoner outside her cell at Badam Bagh, Afghanistan's central women's prison, in Kabul, Afghanistan. Twohundred-and-two women living in the six- year- old jail, the majority of the women are serving sentences of up to seven years for leaving their husbands, refusing to accept a marriage arranged by their parents, or choosing to leave their parent's home with a man of their choice, all so-called

A Monday, Oct. 15, 2012 photo, shows a Taliban fighter from central Afghanistan who is known to the Associated Press from the time of Taliban rule in Afghanistan, but cannot be identified, is seen during an interview with the Associated Press wrapping a cloth around his face, in Kabul, Afghanistan. As the clock ticks toward 2014 and the final withdrawal of NATO and U.S. troops, peace talks with the Taliban are floundering even as the Taliban are showing some hopeful signs, attending international conferences and issuing a statement from their reclusive one-eyed leader with a surprise offer to share power in Afghanistan.

In this Oct. 23, 2012 photo, a young Afghan girl shops with her mother in a crowded bazaar in the heart of Lashkar Gah, southern Helmand’s provincial capital. After 11 years of war residents of southern Helmand, one of the deadliest battlefields, are frustrated by the lack of development and widespread insecurity. The International community is also increasingly worried that the gains made by women after the collapse of the Taliban are slowly slipping away. In deeply conservative Helmand women have worn the all encompassing burqas for centuries yet they too say the increasing insecurity makes them afraid even from behind their veils and shopkeepers say burqa sales are up.

ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2012 AND THEREAFTER - In this Sunday, May 27, 2012 photo, Afghan polio victim Musa, right, 15, is accompanied by his older brother, Nordahan, at the ICRC physical rehabilitation center in Kabul, Afghanistan. In February 2012 the world was cheered to learn that India had gone a full year with no new cases of polio - a landmark that left only Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria on the World Health Organization's list of countries where the disease is endemic. But the battle is far from over, judging by the WHO's latest expressions of alarm. It says that in both Nigeria and Afghanistan the number is creeping up, while budget shortfalls are jeopardizing the effort to hold polio at bay in 24 other high-risk countries.
