Migrant Woman by Dorothy Lange, Library of Congress
Click to listen to \”Woman of the Well\” by Chiwonisu
It is a winter morning

Malalai Joya in this morning’s Independent:
Like millions of Afghans, I have no hope in the results of today’s election. In a country ruled by warlords, occupation forces, Taliban terrorists, drug money and guns, no one can expect a legitimate or fair vote.
