Description

The following is the author's description of the photograph quoted directly from the photograph's Flickr page.
"This is the falling apart home of refugees who were driven into Pakistan about a decade ago. The neighbors are still occasionally in touch with them, and the family is trying to make it back to Afghanistan.

Note from the field: some Afghans I talked to are quietly preparing to flee to Pakistan. Elections are coming soon, violence is up, and confidence in the US is down.

The saying is 'the Americans have until the snow melts'. Obama became President in the winter, which bought us some confidence. But, fighting season in Afghanistan starts when the snow melts. It's melting, faster by the day.

There are still some 1.7 million Afghan refugees in in Pakistan. Recently the UN High Commission for Refugees signed an agreement to let them stay there until 2012.
