Afghanistan's Broken Postal System
Photographs by Lawrence Cohen
 What would a post office be without a postmaster? This gentleman with the red phone and the private desk is clearly the top man in Herat. |
 Stamp storage, inventory and bookkeeping at the Herat General Post Office were rudimentary. "When I departed Herat in August 2006," Cohen observed, "the post office was demonstrably more organized and cleaned up than it had been a year earlier." |
