'I've never been to Afghanistan': Six million deportees forced to start over under the Taliban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The elderly grimace, hobbling on crutches, and wide-eyed children stare, cradling chickens carried from homes they were forced to leave behind. "It feels good to be in my own country," 35-year-old Nazia says, just minutes after she crosses from Pakistan, where she was born, into Afghanistan.
