In pictures: Reluctant return
Price problem

This family of ethnic Turkmen carpet weavers originates from Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. They are worried that when they return there they will be unable to survive given the lower price of carpets and the higher price of wool. What's more, they have neither land or shelter of their own.

The UNHCR offers those who return a small grant, but the Turkmen are reluctant to go even though Pakistani bulldozers have already started destroying the dismantled shops in the camp.
