Description
The number of Afghans attempting to cross the border to Iran has soared since the Taliban swept to power almost two months ago, though few make it across. Before the Taliban came to power on August 15, around 1,000 to 2,000 people crossed to Iran through the Zaranj border station in the southwestern province of Nimroz every month.
But the border commander for Nimroz province, Mohammad Hashem Hanzaleh, told AFP this week that the number of people attempting to cross has since soared to between 3,000 and 4,000 every day. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
