Afghanistan Buzkashi Season Begins
Scenes from the first Buzkashi tournament of the season played in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Friday, Nov. 3, 2006. This game is played between two teams of horse riders called “tchopendoz” who fight over a goat's dead body, which they have to put inside a circle drawn on the floor to score points. 27-year-old French man Louis Meunier plays on this particular team. Louis is not only a tchopendoz, he is also the manager of his team.
