		Passing stealthily past Kabul he journeyed on to Zaranj, capital of Seistan, where he took service with the city's chief, as head of a rather unsavory lot of 100 similarly outlawed companions.
		From then on he showed no mercy and Zaranj was razed to the ground.
		Today Kandaharis speak with pride of Seistan's ancient prosperity: "Once there were so many fine buildings and palaces that one could easily walk from Bost to Zaranj on the rooftops without once touching the ground." Medieval geographies speak of its remarkable prosperity, calling it the "garden of Asia" and the "granary of the East".

		But now the Pashtuns and their governor have gone, by most accounts to Pakistan, and much to the relief of the people of Zaranj, the province is again commanded by General Karim Barahui.
		Some are sceptical of his intentions, remembering him as "Rich Karim" when he was previously governor of Nimruz, from 1992 with the fall of the communist government until 1995 when the Taliban drove him back into desert warfare with a safehouse in Zahedan.

		A new bridge spanning the Helmand at Zaranj, at the border with Iran - built by the Iranian government and officially opened in November - crosses a dry river bed.
		The province, once a cultural and rich agricultural center, is fed by the rivers that descend from the snowfields in Afghanistan's central highlands but the snow caps have shrunk to half their size and the rivers no longer reach the river basin in Nimruz.
		Annual rainfall, always low, was about 2 to 2.3 inches in Nimruz before the drought, but for the past three years it has been a little over a tenth of an inch, said Muhammad Akbar Sharifi, head of the government's Agriculture Department in Zaranj.
