Photo taken by @stevemccurryofficial // I was in Kabul before the Russian forces invaded, during their occupation, when they withdrew, and again when the forces loyal to Ahmed Shah Massoud forced the Soviet-backed leader out. The civil war started in 1992 with years of ferocious fighting before the Taliban came to power. Such is the resiliency of Afghans, that the young girl looks straight into the camera without any fear or self-consciousness.
