It's disguisting and sad but I doubt anything can be done to stop this practice.
It is too old and too much a part of the culture.
Law and order is a joke in Pakistan and Afghanistan these days, the rich and powerful can get away with murder, this is nothing compared to what rich people get away with.
Afghanistan and Pakistan need peace, stability etc. before we can worry about these things.. Sad but I'm being realistic... As sad as it sounds most of these boys would prefer being abused than starving to death in their war-torn country...
i didnt watch the documentary but this is mainly practiced by the minorities in western afghanistan. the pakhtuns shield pakistan from this practice
Nah, I'm far from it dude.
I was just tryina point out that even though we don't agree with everything that the taalibans are for... but its important to remember they do have good HUMANE policies too...
They say "don't abuse the children", I'm all for them..
They say "let's kill all non-muslims".... ermm I don't think so! Take ur "jihad" elsewhere.
anyhow.. back to my sad blog!
thank you for telling us.
i take it you have the authority or knowledge to make this claim
I find it disgusting but it happens in a lot of places... not that its right or anything its just that its sad but true.
Well at least my life in this world will be short they say... even a hundred years is enough to see the horrors of this earth shame is it takes millenia to see it's beauty.

An American friend brought this documentary to my attention last night. If you had watched the documentary, you would have found out that it suggests the mujahideen also practiced this habit while living in Pakistan during the war with Russia. According to the documentary, it seems hard to stop because many of the people who are responsible for stopping it (powerful men) in government and politics are participants in the crime by night.

yes of course fighters of the soviet-afghan war could well be involved in the practice, what i said was 'pakhtuns shield pakistan from it.' concise and precise
some key words for you to consider - pakhtuns durrand line pakhtuns, fc pakhtun, pak army pakhtun, afghan army northern alliance.
some of the northern alliance also fought the russians and were considered mujahadeen for that battle. most recently its the behaviour of the afghan army which has resurfaced this issue into the spotlight, with subsequent attempts to pin talibs(pakhtuns) with it

i watched the documentary and all the "mujahideen" commanders interviewed were part of the northern alliance, they even say it. they also stated that Taliban banned this practice altogether. Note: as shard said, northern alliance are not the same as taliban and others.
