A refugee of the Soviet War on Afghanistan to Pakistan when the National Geographic photographer took the now famous picture. She was tossed back by the Pakistani government as they claimed she was in the country on invalid identity card. The then Afghanistan government welcomed her back but she got held up from evacuating out until recently. Italy took her in and she is in the process of resettling, again.
