REVISIT: Update on situation of African poverty




In the tropical nations of africa there is widespread disease and poverty. The cause was that as people moved into cities people got closer to infect each other. When a person gets infected then they are not working. When they are not working they are not making money and money is used to help the sick person. With poor leadership in many African governments outside help is not being distributed for all people. Also in Africa there are wars, genocides, and famines the stricken the land. One third of the population has malnutrition, 1 in 6 children die before being 5 years old, and the average age of a person is 41 years. Many do not finish school.
