IDP increase due to fighting

The summer of 2008 has seen an increase of internally displaced people, particularly in Wardak Province where there is fighting between the locals and nomads over land rights. Many homes have been burned and scores killed. Thousands have fled, often to the homes of relatives who do not have the resources to care for extra people.

War ruins everything, even Islam, and its hallmarks of Muslim brotherhood and hospitality.
