Afghan firefighters and Taliban security personnel work to extinguish a fire at the Secondary Rehabilitation Services Centre in Kabul on March 16, 2026. Heavy casualties were feared on March 17 after Afghanistan accused Pakistan of hitting a treatment centre for drug addicts in the capital, Kabul, and killing civilians. Pakistan denied deliberately targeting the facility, instead saying it had conducted precision strikes on "military installations and terrorist support infrastructure". The Pakistani military has struck Kabul several times in recent weeks, as part of a conflict sparked by claims that the Taliban government has harboured extremists who have carried out attacks across the border.

AFP presents a reportage of 60 pictures taken by photographer Patrick Meinhardt of Baye Fall during the holy month of Ramadan in Touba on February 28 and March 1, 2026. As if their lives depended on it, thousands of disciples from a singular Senegalese religious community devote themselves to their daily mission: preparing meals for the breaking of the fast during Ramadan — an essential expression of their spirituality, which has few parallels in Islam. They are known as the Baye Fall and they belong to the highly influential Mouride Sufi brotherhood in Senegal, a predominantly Muslim country. Yet their practice of Islam is unlike that of any other Muslim community: the Baye Fall neither pray nor fast, two fundamental precepts among the five pillars of the religion. They are also instantly recognizable by their striking appearance — dreadlocks, multicolored patchwork garments, and the many mystical accessories they wear..
