As an estimated 1.6 million Afghan refugees return to Afghanistan, ethnic Pashtuns from northern Afghanistan are seeking safety in camps in the south. Numbering up to 120,000, Pashtuns and Kuchis are fleeing the Tajik- and Uzbek-dominated cities of the north out of fear and prefer to live in the dismal camps like Zhare Dasht which is set in the middle of a desert surrounded by mines about 30 kilometers west of Kandahar.
