The Stopped Time

Farm square in the village of Char Gul Tepa in the district of Qal-i-Zal: The district is agricultural, with the cultivation of wheat and cotton playing an important role. Due to its geostrategic location, Qalay-i-Zal has been the scene of repeated conflicts in recent years, especially due to the presence of the Taliban. Infrastructure is underdeveloped in many parts, and the population has limited access to education and health care. Here in the village, however, there is a boys' and a girls' school and a small hospital in the neighboring village. | Afghanistan
