Empty streets, closed shops, and broken glass on pavements that s what Hanif Rahimi recalls of Prospect Road, in the inner northern suburbs of Adelaide, just two decades ago.
He d just arrived in South Australia with his family, and what s now been called Little Afghanistan was far from anything he thought possible.
