I’m Selling My Daughter For £400 - Says Desperate Afghan Dad

A DESPERATE Afghan dad has revealed he is prepared to sell his four-year-old daughter for £420 to feed the rest of his family.

Mir Nazir is one of millions in the country facing a hellish life under the Taliban, who have now begun cementing their harsh rule in Afghanistan.
 
As their country’s currency - the afghani - collapses and prices soar, many have resorted to selling everything they own in a bid to stay alive.

But Nazir, a 38-year-old former police officer, is now faced with the heartbreaking decision to sell his daughter to a childless shop keeper in order to feed the rest of his family.
