        Like other aspects of daily life in Afghanistan, the U.S. sanctions slapped on the country's new administration has also undermined Afghans' abilities to get preparation for the Eid al-Fitr celebration. Abdul Sabir is a Kabul resident who visited a local market to buy dried fruits and clothes for his children to celebrate a joyful Eid al-Fitr but returned home with empty hands.

"The bazaar has drastically lost hustle-bustle in compare with last year and people can't buy what they want," he told Xinhua.
