Tajik farmers and their families thresh wheat with oxen and donkeys, in a side valley to the Panjshir Valley, in the Hindu Kush mountains, September 10, 2002. Agriculture is primitive and labor intensive in this remote valley. The Panjshir Valley and its side valleys have long been a stronghold for the Tajik people, and the famous commander Ahmed Shah Masood, in their struggle first against the Soviets and then against the Taliban. The Tajik are one of the larger ethnic groups in Afghanistan, second only to the Pashtun people.
