Here are a few photos. Atta is General Mohamid Atta who is one of the two war lords in the north and controls Mazar city. He sees his futrure with Karzai and the new government so is doing the politician role. He came to register with lots of media and far more armed men. No guns are allowed in the registration site but the police man in charge of the site went pale and silent when it was suggested he mention this to the armed men. The entrance to the site was blocked by the pick up with rocket launchers etc. The other photos are of civic Education activities like putting stickers n donkey carts, banners up and addressing hundreds of women on Wednesdays which is women's day at Ali's Shrine.
