Kandahar

An Afghan man sleeps by the final check point manned by Afghan Border Police (ABP) by the border between the city of Chaman, Pakistan and Wesh, Afghanistan located in Spin Boldak District, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The route through Spin Boldak is a significant ancient trade route and one of the most significant economic coorridors in the country as it leads south to the Port of Karachi. This contraversial modern border was created in 1893 by the British Empire and reflects what is known as the Durand Line which split the ethnic Pashtun Lands.
