Afghan Buzkashi (FB Ali)
Buzkashi
is an ancient Central Asian game in which two teams on horseback seek
to drag a goat carcass (often headless) across a field to a marked
circle or goal line. A very rough game, it is also played in
Afghanistan.
Something like Buzkashi is currently going on in Afghanistan, with not one but several teams pitted against each other. Instead of the carcass of a goat, the teams are fighting over the country, and its future within the broader regional context.http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2015/07/afghan-buzkashi-fb-ali.html#more
