Islamist militants, local media reported Tuesday. REUTERS/Adrees Latif / October 2011

owned by the Ministry of Transportation that originally served as a storage facility for the national bus company. Tajik and Pashtun families
live side by side without any major conflict. Over 70 percent of the families are returnees from the period 2002-2004 who are unable to
achieve sustainable reintegration in their places of origin and subsequently drifted to Kabul City in search of work. There is a nearby
school which is accessible to the children but the poor economic circumstances of the families oblige them to send their children out to
work. Low levels of literacy, particularly amongst the women, limit their access to employment aside from the lowest paid daily wage labor.
