Afghans carry balloons to sell, as they walk towards the Sakhi Shrine on occasion of Nawroz, a new year ceremony, in Kabul, Afghanistan. In a speech marking the Afghan new year, Vice President Abdul Karim Khalili called on militants to lay down their weapons because the nation was never going to return to the days of hardline Taliban rule.
