Original – A Nuristani girl in a Kabul, 2002.
Reason
While Afghan Girl is Pashtun, this one is reportedly Nuristani. Once again shows how such poor folks can present themselves better than wealthy politicians on generic shots.

My guess is it's an effort to highlight an obscure ethnic group, of which probably few in the West ever have heard. (Would 'woman' perhaps be more appropriate than 'girl' for this person?) Sca (talk) 20:31, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The EV here is the article Nuristanis, with apparent distinguishing features of this girl compared to an average Afghan. Brandmeistertalk 21:45, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"this one is reportedly", "Once again shows how such poor folks", "this girl", "an average Afghan". It's all a bit colonial for me. My oppose stands. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:46, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As a side note, I oppose colonialism, this is purely genetics and natural way of things. Brandmeistertalk 11:22, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
