<br/><br/> "Afghanistan, cradle of tragedy, is now in its fourth year of drought, and with the drought has come its inevitable offspring, famine.  The hungry, spiraling deathward, try to cope in pitiable ways, selling all, eating fodder, wandering away to beg." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article describes how desperate Afghan parents sell their children to provide food for the rest of their families.
