Staff eventually told Prince Charles about the aroma from the basement; he held a "calm and serious" talk with his son about the dangers of drug abuse and a fast crowd.

In a country with limited electricity or running water and few roads, many boys must forgo school to make money any way they can, even following cows with upturned palms to catch excrement to sell as fuel. Joining the army guarantees free food, clothes and cigarettes?plus the chance to swagger. "When you fight for your people, you become a man," says Shukrullah, 12, who strolls the mountainous streets of Farkhar with a loaded, unlocked Kalashnikov. For these youngsters, it doesn...
