How They Found National Geographic's "Afghan Girl"

She was one of the world's most famous faces, yet no one knew who she was. Her image appeared on the front of magazines and books, posters, lapel pins, and even rugs, but she didn't know it. Now, after searching for 17 years, National Geographic has once again found the Afghan girl with the haunting green eyes.

The mysterious Afghan girl whose direct gaze has intrigued the West for so long is Sharbat Gula. She lives in a remote region of Afghanistan with her husband and three daughters.

Sharbat was located nearly two decades after her picture appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine in 1985. She had no idea her face had become an icon, said Steve McCurry, the photographer who made the famous portrait for National Geographic in 1984, and who tried to find her again during many subsequent trips he made to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

McCurry's photo of the girl was selected as the cover of National Geographic 100 Best Pictures.

In January 2002, a National Geographic team returned to the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan, where Sharbat Gula was originally photographed, to search for her. She was identified through a series of contacts that led to her brother and husband, who agreed to ask her if she was willing to be interviewed.

Sharbat has been photographed on only two occasions: in 1984 and at the reunion with Steve McCurry this year. She had never seen her famous portrait before it was shown to her in January.

"This is the face that so captivated not only National Geographic readers but also anyone who saw her image around the world," said Boyd Matson, host of the National Geographic television show EXPLORER, who was with the group that met with Gula.

"We've known her face, but we've not known her story, not even her name," he said.

Final Search

National Geographic set out to make one last concerted effort to find the "Afghan girl" before the refugee camp in Pakistan where she had last been seen was demolished. From the camp, the trail wound through several villages and into at least one dead end, until someone recognized the girl on the cover of National Geographic and said he knew her brother.


Because Sharbat Gula lives a traditional Muslim life behind the veil, she was not allowed to meet men outside her family. But the Geographic team was given permission to send a female associate producer to meet Sharbat and photograph her face.

Matson said that when he compared the photograph of the woman with that of the girl, he was certain it was the same person. "The irises of the eyes, the moles and scar on the faceâ€"all indicated this was the person we were looking for," he said.

Still, to make sure Sharbat Gula was the girl who had been photographed 17 years earlier, the EXPLORER team obtained verification through iris-scanning technology and face-recognition techniques used by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

After Sharbat's family granted permission for her to meet with the man who photographed her 17 years ago, McCurry knew immediately, even after so many years, that he had found her again. "Her eyes are as haunting now as they were then," he said.

"She remembered me, primarily because she had never been photographed before I made the image of her in 1984, or since then," he said.

Sharbat Gula recalled the experience of being photographed as a child, she told McCurry, because she remembered how her head covering was full of holes after being scorched by a cooking fire.

When they met again, McCurry told Sharbat her image had become famous as a symbol of the Afghan people. "I don't think she was particularly interested in her personal fame," McCurry said. "But she was pleased when we said she had come to be a symbol of the dignity and resilience of her people."

The award-winning photographer said his original image of Sharbat had seized the imagination of so many people around the world because her face, particularly her eyes, expressed pain and resilience as well as strength and beauty.

Sharbat Tells Her Story

When Sharbat agreed to have her picture taken for the second time in her life, she came out from the secrecy of her veil to tell her story. She wanted the people around the world who knew her face to know that she survived the refugee camp in Pakistan.

She married and had four daughters, one of whom died in infancy. She lives in obscurity, according to the customs and traditions of her culture and religion.

A member of the Pashtun ethnic group in Afghanistan, Sharbat said she fared relatively well under Taliban rule, which, she feels, provided a measure of stability after the chaos and terror of the Soviet war.

According to Matson and McCurry, Sharbat Gula has returned to anonymity; the latest publicity about her name and face is unlikely to draw attention to her in Afghanistan. "She will not give another media interview and she wishes not to be contacted," Matson said. Her family has relocated to a different village in a remote part of Afghanistan, where she will continue to live her life in purdah, he added.

Asked if Sharbat would benefit financially from her famous image, Matson said she was "being looked after."

"Clearly she has become a symbol that National Geographic has used to illustrate the circumstances of refugees like her, and many people have inquired about her," he said. "She stood for an entire group of refugees, not just Afghan refugees. She has helped us with our mission of educating people about other cultures and regionsâ€"and she's helping us again by drawing attention to the lives of Afghan women and girls in general."

Professional misconduct charges:

The charges include:

    * He was being paid to conduct the study by solicitors representing parents who believed their children had been harmed by MMR, and failed to disclose this in his IRB.
    * He ordered investigations "without the requisite paediatric qualifications".
    * Acting "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in failing to disclose how patients were recruited for the study, and that some      were paid to take part.
    * Performing colonoscopies, colon biopsies and lumbar punctures ("spinal taps") on his research subjects without proper approval and contrary to the children's clinical interests, when these diagnostic tests were not indicated by the children's symptoms or medical history.
    * Conducting the study on a basis which was not approved by the hospital's ethics committee.
    * Purchasing blood samples - for £5 each - from children present at his son's birthday party, as described by Wakefield himself in a videotaped public conference.

Wakefield denies the charges. On 27 March 2008, Wakefield will defend his reputation at a General Medical Council hearing.

Senators blame Arroyo for rice crisis

By Gil C. Cabacungan Jr.
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 07:18pm (Mla time) 03/17/2008

MANILA, Philippines -- From the fertilizer scam to hybrid rice to jatropha, senators are blaming President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for the looming rice crisis and for making the Philippines the world's biggest importer of the cereal.

“The rice crisis should be addressed and taken seriously by the government. The root cause is not only external shocks but issues related to high cost of inputs; absence or lack of forward planning; and the shift to corn and jatropha,'' said Senator Francis Escudero in a text message.

Escudero noted that the government's thrust to promote jatropha in support of the biofuels program could have diverted the funds intended for rice development to oil alternatives.

Senate President Manny Villar said that the government has a lot of explaining to do on the rice crisis.

“First, the rice cartel. A lot of people might be taking advantage of the situation. Second, the fertilizer scam where the government did not cooperate in our past investigation. Corruption in areas that directly affect the poor should never be tolerated. If our rice production is low, it is undeniable that fertilizer is one of the reasons,” said Villar in a press conference.

He cautioned the government against taking the rice crisis lightly because it could end up being a “very serious problem.”

Villar said that aside from being ineffective against the rice cartel, the government has likewise been lax in checking the long-standing corrupt practices in the National Food Authority (NFA).

“With the world price of rice spiraling, the government must do its best in handling the crisis because this could be more serious than the national broadband network scandal,” said Villar.

Villar suggested that the government seriously consider suspending the tariffs on rice imports in order to ensure steady supply for the country. “But we have to balance this with the interest of our farmers whose prices will suffer from the inflow of rice imports,” said Villar.

Gloria ‘excommunicated’

‘No communion for GMA, a public sinner’ â€" Archbishop Cruz

2008/03/27

President Arroyo has been virtually excommunicated by an Archbishop, saying she is a “public sinner” who must be denied communion, intimating that it would be making a mockery of the sacred host which, to Catholics, is the body and blood of Jesus Christ effected through transubstantiation, for her to be given any communion.

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz yesterday made waves with his announcement of denying the President communion, which is a form of excommunication, or at the very least, a humiliating repudiation of a member of the Catholic flock, excluding her from the grant of the sacrament.

Wikipedia describes excommunication as a religious censure used to deprive or suspend membership in a religious community. The word literally means putting (someone) out of communion.

 Cambodian PM bans rice exports to halt spiraling costs

Agence France-Presse

PHNOM PENH - Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday banned rice exports in a bid to halt the staple food's spiraling prices, which have reached highs of nearly one dollar a kilogram.

The move comes amid the steady climb in the price of most staple goods, including the doubling of the cost of cooking gas, which has put increasing strain on large numbers of Cambodians.

"Cambodia will halt the export of rice for two months," Hun Sen said.

"It is a temporary measure ... but it is to ensure food security," he added.

Rice prices have risen sharply from about 40 cents a kilogram as speculation of shortages grip local markets, sparking demands that the government put a cap on costs.

But Hun Sen said Tuesday that Cambodia is experiencing a rice surplus, and blamed the price hike on "economic sabotage" -- people spreading rumors of dwindling rice supplies in a bid to undermine the government.

Despite GDP growth averaging 11 percent over the past three years, more than a third of the country's 14 million people live on less than 50 cents a day, making even the slightest rise of food costs devastating to Cambodia's poorest.

Petrol remains at record highs on the back of global oil prices while inflation cracked the double digits late last year, hovering around 11 percent and further driving up food costs.
