Desperate to escape Taliban rule, thousands of Afghans have been flooding into Pakistan from Afghanistan’s southeast Kandahar Province. Carrying their belongings in sacks on their shoulders, they funnel through a chain-link fence topped with razor wire at the border checkpoint near Spin Boldak to make their way to the Pakistani border city of Chaman. It appears to be the only international border open for Afghans to exit and people from across the country are making their way there.
