Afghan men – the majority of whom have just been deported from Iran – carry their belongings a couple of hundred metres beyond the Iranian border towards vehicles waiting to transport them toward the city of Herat. As many as 2,000 people per day are coming from Iran into Afghanistan at the Islam Qala crossing in Herat Provinc, and many of them are deportees. They are usually young men who went to Iran from the southern province of Nimroz. They planned to either find work in that country or continue westward to Europe.
