Given that Afghanistan for their efforts to eliminate poppy cultivation, many poor peasants, proceeds from the plants have their daughters to sell their debts to local merchants, the loans in exchange for opium . Many farmers have a large part of their lives in improving the opium rocky slopes of eastern Afghanistan and in the southern plains dusty as the only reliable cash crop.

In the April edition of Newsweek 7 (log newsstands Monday, March 31), Afghanistan Sami Yousafzai, a correspondent for South Asia and the Bureau Chief Ron Moreau report that the practice began with one of the Husband of the traditional family-father of the bride pays tribal Pashtuns are in society. These days, just in the amount of $ 3000 or so in poor countries like Laghman and Nangarhar in 8000 dollars or more in Helmand, Afghanistan’s No. 1 opium growing province. For a peasant desperate, the price of the bride can cure - but at a terrible cost. Among the Pashtuns, the debt constitutes a marriage lasting stain on the honor of the bride and her family. It is a disgrace for the country. President Hamid Karzai said a short time ago the nation: “I appeal to the human [not] girls to give them money, they should not be up to them to old men, and have force them to see. ”
Nobody knows how many weddings are held debt, in Afghanistan, where 93 percent of the world’s heroin and other opiates come. But Afghans say, the number of loans married is increasing, that the efforts to eradicate poppy farmers urge more overdue. “This will be our darkest year since 2000,” Baz Mohammad, 65, a former farmer from opium Nangarhar. “More girls are sold for this year.” The old man lives with the fear of selling its own 13 - daughter years in the year 2000, after the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar banned poppy grows. “Lenders never show without mercy,” says the old man. Local Farmers say that the commitment made by a debtor to hand and foot, then locked in a small room with no windows Schwelbrand fire, the slow death by suffocation.
While law enforcement provide yet another record harvest of opium in Afghanistan in the spring of this year, most farmers are struggling to survive. It is estimated that about 500000 Afghan families, by increasing poppy, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. During the past year, producers have been estimated at $ 1 billion for their crops - over $ 2000 per household. With at least six family members of the EU average, the combination of poppy cultivation per capita income is around 300 dollars. The real benefits go to the distributors, and their Taliban allies officials criminals who exploit them. The country is well-oiled machine drug generates more than $ 4 billion per year for the export of opium and heroin dealing - more than half of the GDP of $ 7.5 billion, after UNODC.
The efforts for the promotion of other cultures in these areas have failed. In wheat or corn $ 250 per hectare brings a better, while poppy growers can expect 10 times more. In addition, more reliable poppy either bold as wheat or corn, and more tolerant towards drought and heat and extreme cold. And in a country where virtually no state-supported credit for small farmers, gardeners of opium, you can advance on their crops. The borrower agrees that payment of cash so kilos of opium, at a price fixed by the lender - often 40 percent or more at current market value. Islam prohibits the fees charged on a loan, but money and distributors poppy country to evade the ban on packaging, transactions at the end of the harvest business - and never forget that the return on Investment is synonymous wear.
Mohammad Zahir Khan, a battery of tenants in arrears of Nangarhar, in his 40, borrowed $ 850 in the spring of last year, the harvest hand, many promises for 10 kilos of opium to the lender - over $ 1250 on the market local. The cash bought food and other needs of his family and allowed him to seed, fertilizer and tends to help his three hectares of sharecropping. In the spring, it brought together 45 kilos of raw opium insert, half of which went immediately to land. But before Khan allowed to repay the loan, his wife fell seriously ill with a kidney disease. They were in need of improved medical coverage as could offer Nangarhar, he rushed them on the Pakistani border in a private hospital in Peshawar. It cost nearly every cent knew that Khan and his debts would only grow opium. To this must be added the fact that the governor of the province, a former called warlords Gul Agha Sherzai, has chosen this moment to explain his own war against drugs, the detention of hundreds of local farmers, who Record opium planting. Nangarhar 45000 hectares of poppy were in a year, other experts say today that the province is quite clean.
At the end of last year has given reluctantly Khan, 16, her daughter, Gul Ghoti, within marriage to the lenders of 15 years, son. Besides Khan forgive the debt, creditors gave him a $ 1500 cash. Khan called an honorable man. “Until the end of my life, I feel because of the shame of what I have to my daughter,” says Khan. “I still can not on him in the eyes.” But, at least, she was old enough to get married, “he adds. He said a local farmer recently had promised the hand of his 2 month old daughter to liberate his family a debt of opium.
Angiza Afridi has a large part of last year survey of more than 100 families of opium in marriages of two of the 22 districts of Nangarhar. The teacher and journalist from the local television had first-hand knowledge of the tragedy. Five years ago, one of his young aunts, then 16, was forced to marry a man of 55 years, to pay an old debt of opium uncle, and three years ago, a cousin of 8 years was also in marriage to make a property on Drug loan. “This practice, the girls can marry at the coverage of debt is always a bad habit,” said Afridi.
In both districts, she studied nearly half of all new brides had received in marriage opium to pay down debt. The new, children are married off at age 5, until they are old enough for their greatest success, mostly as servants of their budgets and laws. “These poor girls have no future,” she says. The worst may be suicide. Afridi learned one aged 15, married opium poisoning, on her wedding day and the end of Last year, at age 11, with a lethal dose of opium at the same time. your new laws were refusing to abide by their parents did visit.

For most ordinary, law-abiding citizens, money to circumvent the problems are usually not enough. For society is more écoeurantes type, but (as drug traffickers, Mohammed accountants and corrupt politicians), money, the problems of a lot of cash. The deposits of more than $ 10000 in a bank account to be raised a number of red flags with the different authorities, while some plopping a pocket full of Benjamin Düffel for the Bugatti Veyron is simply not sustainable. So what’s the meaning of “merit” if all that money could not spend? Fortunately, there are ways to scam their money geschäftstüchtige seek to clean and make them move. The process is called “money laundering”, placed, and we have some of the best ways to do this.
Money laundering is in a variety of different ways. Some of the methods that we are structured in ventilation deposits, banks and companies Shell.
Structuring deposits
The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 requires from the banks relating to the registration of deposits over $ 10000.01. This is not a problem for most of us, but it is a major obstacle for money laundering offence, seeking to liberate, the heaviness of some currencies. To avoid this problem is trying to expensive Act deterrence money laundering, is launderers hire low-level lackeys for a number of small deposits, or on specified days and various sectors, on the same day. This is a complex matter, the average time to launder money, and that was made more difficult by computer algorithms that, after a deposit of suspicious behavior and throwing a red flag, if you are .
Banks
Much more exciting in the world and, in practice, money laundering is the use of offshore and foreign banks. As the United Cayman Islands, the Bahamas and Panama are very accommodating criminals seeking to legitimize their cash, they are fully with the United Nations with regard to the legislation banking and anti-money laundering, which will ultimately launderers hide behind the veil of strict confidentiality. Opening of accounts in a number of these accounts offshore launderers can move, and their money to set up a virtually impenetrable defense against investigators curious.
Some countries (notably China and Pakistan) have a history of the U-banks, which since the adoption of commitments to customers skizzenhaften for centuries. You run legally outside the “mainstream” of the bank and outside of the control system of government. It is often undocumented workers, the appeal of the principal. Of course you know, there will probably tortured and killed ask if you have money is a good source of collateral.
Shell companies
Enterprising criminals seek to legalize their cash in place, there are several companies that, solely for the purposes of money laundering. Shell These companies often offer a type of service that can be easily gepfuscht and cash as a general rule, be accepted as a means of payment, if for legitimate purposes (beauty and guilds such as sanitation is often used). The funnel is dirty money from the company, which look like legitimate income of false invoices and receipts and then deposited in the shell of the company, accounts with a clean, beautifully aufwendbar cash.

IT IS debt is likely to be a major problem in the coming years ..
Over the past few columns, I tried, ideas and solutions to the debt problems to prevent the most extreme finally able to bankruptcy.
I want to concentrate on the two possibilities, individuals can be formally bankrupt Scotland: Kidnapping and conclusion of a trust protected (PTD).
Aufgehetzt is sealed by the creditors, while PTDs are at the initiative of the debtor. Bankruptcy - sequestration or use of its Scots term - is not something that everybody should compel easily.
But for some, and the latest figures show that 13814 people involved in Scotland in the year 2007, it is the only possibility.
They have exhausted the possibilities for reappropriation and borrowing against equity and loans, it is the only plausible solution.
Latest figures show that in the fourth quarter of 2007, there was a decrease of 11.4 per cent in the number of PTDs and 1.2 percent increase in sequestrations compared to the third quarter 2007.
Sequestration can be awarded against the property of an individual, a partnership, a Limited Partnership, a body or a body not as a club.
The claims of creditors against the estate of the borrower.
The property includes vererblich and assets, money from the debtor, the right to money or property at some point in the future, and all the surplus revenues during the receivership. An agent appointed for the monitoring process
The debtor is required to cooperate with the agent and unloaded before bankruptcy
After three years, even if it is possible, by the court in certain circumstances.
A permanent record of the process is determined by the trustee and is responsible for the inspection of all interested parties. The consequence of the practice of escrow is limited, the signature of an individual acquisition of credit for at least three years from the time of the bankruptcy, but it may also have implications for the future of access to credit for some years.
Sequestration is also the ability of a person buying a car, if they are equipped with a loan to expand or modify their mortgage, expand or modify their circulation credit with a bank or an change in their bank account, and all that is needed to buy a credit check.
Consequently, sequestration should be the last resort.
Unfortunately, it is likely a decision to increase the number of partitions may be forced to work in the coming years.

WASHINGTON - For the moment, there are people who are crawling, if their phones ring.
These people are sick feeling to know that the caller is probably one of the creditors to come together on a bill late. Much of the news in recent times, those behind him on mortgages. But the fact is that all debts are people. The Americans have $ 2.5 trillion in non-mortgage debt.
In the last column, I wrote about the rights granted to debtors under the Fair Practices Act of recovery, people in the collection of illegal tactics. Now I want to discuss what the debtors should be if such a request from a collection agency or law firm.
One thing you should not do is let the phone ring or go to voicemail. Even if you have no money to pay debts, and recovery agency or lawyer to know your situation, said Bob Markoff, the president of the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys.
“We can talk to you and find a way for something, that your budget,” said Markoff. E consumer has the right to pay what they can afford. ”
When you respond, not to be put under pressure, a payout, you really can not. Single vote in a payment plan that you can really Stick. There’s no point in promising money that you have not yet debt collectors and counteract stress.
“Do not let yourself be intimidated by anyone to claim your money,” says Markoff. “Do what you can do, and if this is not acceptable, it is regrettable that credit institutions.”
Regardless Markoff warns that you should not try to duck the debt claim can not afford to pay, when something with a small band of reinforcement on reality. Debt collectors are not stupid. You have access to your credit files. You can watch and see if you bought a new home or car, have cable services, or have in past purchases on credit.
In many cases, you can negotiate to settle debts unless you through Markoff said. The key to these negotiations is cash.
“If you have the money in hand, you tend to a reasonable solution as a promise to pay something in the future,” said Markoff. “They have already broken a promise to pay in the future, today, discussions really cash.”
Suppose you have an old debt that swelled up to $ 5000 in taxes, interest, etc. offer to pay $ 10 per month, it is undoubtedly not to fly. But if you offer $ 1500 in a lump sum, you have a better chance of finding a solution.
Clearly, the example that I have, it’s easy. How a lump of Bara offers a creditor or debt collector true, there are great differences. However, if you have to negotiate a solution to ensure that all the details in writing before a penny to the receipt or counsel.
Once the debt ratio on the records of payment and all your correspondents. My advice: blocking work on writing forever. Take often old and sells them sold, and it is possible, information about your payments may not along the collection of the new agency or lawyer. Years later, you could telephone regarding a debt they were long overdue.
It is a general rule, a statute of the border, where the possibility of debt collectors, the collection on an old debt. The statutory time limit for certain consumer debt varies, depending on their condition. Note that request, but even if the debt collector can not bring before the court for the debt, which remains still have the right to assemble, which is due.
Here are some tips from the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys:
Do not be intimidated to pay is that the debt is not a home. You have the right to request reconsideration of the debt. When there was a mix-up or if you are the victim of identity theft, to be prepared, evidence. For example, identity theft, you may be asked for a police report. That is why it is important to make a report of such a file in the case of identity theft.
If you have a lawyer, himself or to have contact with his lawyer in the collection. After this step is taken, the collection of attorney can not communicate with your lawyer, not directly with you.
Do not ignore a summons to a court. Markoff said, if you are directly to the creditors of the date in court, you can avoid an action for payment. Surely it is better than if you pay garnisheed torn or funds from your bank account.
All the above, and cause one thing - communication. Avoid a call from a collector, debt is not far away. How Markoff, said: “Debt is not over time. They are not like good wine.
