Medical student Mustafa HK, prays inside a cabin after spending the afternoon overlooking the Qargha Reservoir on the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan October 8, 2021. Picture taken October 8, 2021. "I'm not a defender of the Taliban or previous government, I want to talk as youth, as an Afghan citizen," said Mustafa, who came to Kabul as a child after his father was killed in the southern province of Uruzgan, a Taliban stronghold. "My mother was a doctor, an obstetrician. My father was a surgeon and my cousins and uncles are Taliban," he said. "I hope now the Taliban is not the same that was 20 years ago, and now the focus more on the economy and fight against the poverty in Afghanistan."
