ABC News reporters visited a stretch of border in the Darvoz region last week. To enter, foreigners must have special permission and pass through three checkpoints.

Ahmad Massoud, the son of the legendary mujahideen commander Ahmad Shah Massoud and leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, is in Tajikistan, his spokesman said this week, seeking to drum up international support. Those who did reach Tajikistan are now struggling, unable to find work or feed themselves in one of the world's poorest countries. Tamim Talash, a former official at Afghanistan's election commission, is now stranded there with his wife and 4-month old daughter.Talash, who said the Taliban twice tried to kill him, has applied for asylum in the U.S. but heard nothing so far.
