GATA - Zalmai - Walking in Quicksand

Ten years after the fall of the Taliban and the intervention of the international community in Afghanistan, Afghans continue to be the most exiled people in the world. In 2010, three out of ten refugees in the world were originating from Afghanistan. Disillusioned and dispirited from a peace that never comes, Afghans are on exile¿s road again. Greece, Europe¿s first entry point from the East, receives the largest amount of migrants and asylum-seekers from Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East. Afghans top the list of nationalities in need of international protection. In 1989, Zalmai began to work as a freelance photographer, traveled around the world, and eventually returned to Afghanistan, where he continues documenting the ongoing war and plight of the Afghan people.
