    Kabul, Afghanistan

    HAJJI Ramazan has built a modest empire from used clothes.

    His shop, which has seen its fortunes wax and wane with those of Kabul, was started by his father 40 years ago in Chindawul market, one of the oldest in the city. Vendors in the narrow alleyway of several dozen shops sell everything from coal for heating to televisions to jalebi, spiral fritters soaked in syrup.
