This photograph taken on April 13, 2026 shows Afghan men digging a mountainside along the Kunar riverbed before seiving stones in search of gold nuggets in the Song area of Ghaziabad district, Kunar province. Hundreds of men dig into the riverbed in the mountainous province of Kunar in eastern Afghanistan, searching for a few grams of gold dust, which is heavier than sand. At the foot of imposing peaks, some of which were still covered in snow in April, the Kunar River flowed through the province bordering Pakistan. (Photo by Wakil KOHSAR / AFP via Getty Images)
