Poverty forces Afghan children into smuggling - 3 Oct 08

Poverty in Afghanistan is driving some families to take desperate measures.

They are sending boys as young as five across the border into Pakistan, to buy cheap flour, and smuggle it back home.

But the youngsters are risking injury, even death.

I liked this video only becuase you uploaded it... More people need to be aware of whats happening to Afghan children.

these are Russian, Circassian, Georgian & Indian children. arabs hate these people; that is why they kill them. real arabs are pedophiles & child sacrificing evil pagans; they can't forgive these people bringing Islam into their comfortable life pretending to be Jews as well. They are killing the same kind of people, my people. Starting in Armenia/Turkey border in 1874. Then my people murdered in Russia & Germany. Wake up to the truth.
