Afghan President Hamid Karzai (C) is surrounded as delegates rush to the stage to
receive medals from the President on the final day of Afghanistan's Loya Jirga tribal
assembly June 19, 2002. With bundles, rugs and prayer mats under their arms and holding
bottles of water in the hot sun, Afghan delegates, sweaty and exhausted, left for
home on June 20 after nine days of intense and sometimes tedious debate at the Loya
Jirga grand assembly.
