According to UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) figures, the number of internally displaced Afghani people was 683,000 by mid-2014, estimating they will amount to 900,000 by the end of 2015. In the north-west province of Faryab, the security situation deteriorated so badly over the summer that Afghan Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum, a general, led a military campaign himself. This did not prevent the Taliban from seizing even larger areas. Now six of the 14 districts are under Taliban control. (Photo by Jalil Rezayee/EPA)
