We call it "Alamo"

"It's the flies that I notice the most. In the heat of the Afghan summer and the a dust that is as fine a talcum, the flies swarm. As I sit here writing, I hear the buzz of yet another dyeing fly whose wings have become pasted to the glue on fly strip the hangs next to my head. There is certain pleasure in watching each fly die; an idilic, hopeful fantasy that somehow there will be less flies as a result. As with so many things here in Afghanistan, change only comes in small steps. Our fly strip may curb the population of vermin for now, but it does little to affect the root of the problem. "
