 BUKAVU, Congo (AP) - In places like Congo and Sudan, war and hunger are linked in a cycle of horror and desperation.
In Congo's capital, Kinshasa, ragged street children swarm to open car windows, rubbing their bellies and moaning, "Boss, boss, 100 francs."
That's just 20 cents, but it goes a long way in an African country where years of fighting and decades of corruption under former dictator Mobutu Sese Seko have wrecked the economy and killed off most good jobs.
