Summary
New Zealand Defense Force Cpl. Johnny Bartlett (front left) and some of his New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team comrades perform a haka during a ceremony officially transferring responsibility for security, governance and development to Afghan control at Afghan National Police headquarters in Bamyan, July 17. A haka is a traditional Maori posture war dance including vigorous moving, foot stomping and chanting that issues a challenge – in this case, a challenge of transition that Afghans in Bamyan accepted.
