Afghanistan, Parwan: Soldiers move military vehicles to escort leaders into the valleys.
While preparing to descend from the mountains, a soldier shouts: "The war is not over, whoever wanted to win it has gone, leaving us alone to fight it" on August 7, 2021. The men who formed the militia in the Shinwari Mountains are of various ages and social backgrounds. There are shopkeepers and pastors, students and retirees.
Leaders argue that only by representing all parts of society can the protection and trust of the community truly be guaranteed.
