Afghan soldiers argue with women in front of the ancient Ravziyai Muborak mosque
during the celebration of the Norouz holiday of spring equinox and the start of the
New Year in Mazar-i-Sharif March 21, 2002. The ancient holiday dating back to Zoroastrian
times was celebrated in this commercial city for the first time since it was banned
by the purist Taliban movement as non-Muslim in 1997.
