...ever to settle into peace, these children will have the hardest time adjusting to a place where people don't resolve political squabbles with the pull of a trigger. "One of the most difficult things to change in our country is the younger generation's mind-set," says Abdullah Farazi, who helps feed orphans living in a refugee camp near the frontline town of Dast-e-Qale. "How can we convince them that this thing called peace is better than the guns they carry everywhere...

Abdullah Abdullah, the Alliance's smooth-talking Foreign Minister, vowed last week that women would be part of any government he helped form. But in the Alliance's garrison town of Khoja Bahauddin women walk soundlessly in full burka. "The majority of Afghan men do not believe women should have rights," says Farahnaz Nazir, head of the Afghanistan Women's Association, the only women's organization operating openly in the country today...
