Abdurahman Warsame's photostream  

This beautiful child was in Hamarwayne, a historical part of Mogadishu. I spent few hours walking around with photojournalist friend Faysal Ilkacase. This child was in an old building, once government-owned but now housing internally displaced people. They have been there for years.

The small structure in the far left is built by ants, a little house and a mosque. I loved the scene and took few pictures.

I met this old man on the way back from Panjshir to Kabul. I spotted him walking down with his ancient rifle so I asked the friend driving to stop: him and his rifle were so old I thought he might be the last of the Afghan worriers who defeated the British. He told us he was shooting birds and when he aimed to fire the gun to show us that it was working my friend and I took flight: we thought it would backfire or explode.

The mosque is 900 years old, and one of the most beautiful buildings anywhere. Herat, Afghanistan.
