TO GO WITH 'Afghanistan-China-minig-Buddhism'
TOPSHOT - In this picture taken on May 17, 2022, a Taliban fighter walks at an archaeological site in Mes Aynak, in the eastern province of Logar. - An ancient Buddhist city carved out of immense peaks near Kabul is in danger of disappearing forever, swallowed up by a Chinese consortium exploiting one of the world's largest copper deposits. Located at the confluence of Hellenistic and Indian cultures, Mes Aynak -- believed to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old -- was once a vast city organised around the extraction and trade of copper.
