Fatemah, 12, (Left) and her younger sisters Hamidah, 6, (Centre) and Halemah, 9, (Right) are eating a meagre breakfast next to the wood stove in the cave where they live with their family since seven years, in Bamyan, central Afghanistan, an area mostly populated by Hazaras. A historically persecuted minority (15%) due to more lenient Islamic faith and characteristic 'Eastern' lineaments, Hazaras constitute the 70% of Bamyan's population.
