Afghanistan faces country-wide bread shortages - 06 Jan 08

The Afghan government is appealing to the international community to provide hundreds of tonnes of wheat to try to stop a country-wide food shortage.

All across Afghanistan, the price of flour, the key ingredient in bread, is skyrocketing.

Without immediate help, there are fears of a full-blown emergency.

The Afghani bread is very tasty and smells very exciting, in my neighborhood in Queens New York we have small Afghani bakery and because of it the smell of fresh baked bread in the whole street, people love it, every body talks about.

Afghanistan can feed it self only if this war gives it the chance to stand on its two own feet! distraction was brought on to them they didn't need and they shouldn't be in ths pctur

Doesnt help the farmers are growing poppies instead of food. Anyways NATO is helping, they are the ones making sure that its only shortages rather then full scale famines.

It seems like the best bet for the Afghani people is growing heroin

Im wondering: Doesn't the US Government pay US farmers per acre NOT to grow grain?
