A small flag shop in the corner of a Kabul market has documented Afghanistan’s turbulent history over the decades with its ever-changing merchandise.
Since taking power, Taliban officials have sprouted in all major Afghan ministries, embedding themselves in the bureaucracy they have inherited.
Honarwer said he’s been in the flag business for almost four decades, beginning at a time when a Soviet-backed government was in power in the 1980s. The Soviets withdrew in 1989 and their local communist allies pulled out in 1992, followed by a period of rule by warlords and civil war. The Taliban ruled from 1996-2001, when a U.S.-led invasion expelled the group. The Taliban retook control as U.S. and NATO forcesIt was not immediately clear if Honarwer’s flag shop was open throughout all four decades. He says that he spent 27 years in exile in Pakistan but that he’ll now stay in Afghanistan, no matter who is in charge.
“I love Afghanistan and I want to live here,” he said. “Whatever regime comes, my business is on and will continue.”
