hunger
Child hunger is a disgusting problem a round the world but it is even worse in Africa. with having such a high poor population. Africa has a population of 1.216 billion people. And in twenty twelve it was estimated that forty seven people were undernourished. With having such a high population of people and not having a lot of money means you have a hard time to feed all of your people. It dose not help that they have barley any clean water to drink from. And not "good" tools to start fire, or to even have the strength from malnutrition to hunt. They also do not have much access to good hygiene so infectious diseases run rampant. So then the question is how do we fix this problem. The fix to this problem is quite simple. we just send a large amount of water purification tables and air drop them on top of Africans lakes and rivers. and then for food I think we just give them a couple of guns so hunting is not so hard. or the easier way we could just each donate like 1 dollar. That dollar adds up fast.
Disease
Like many places they have their own disease problems. Since Africa has not very good hygiene. So bung dirty ind ind the harsh weather opens the people up to many different disease. Not to mention dirty drinking water can have tons of horrible bacteria. Ebola is a virus that come and goes ever few years. It is a virus that can cause internal bleeding and organ failure possibly even death. it has no known cure but it has been treated by patients being re-hydrated and treated. It is spread by bottily fluids such as blood and saliva and is not that spreadable. Aids is an immune deficiency. It stars as HIV wish is its earliest stat which is not that bad. But if not treated it can cause aids and become a much larger problem, if not treated probably leading to death. It is believed that aids had originated in Africa. The solution to this particular problem would be tho give more treatments and vaccines to the country. That its self would cause even more problems because it would be very expensive. But if enough people and countries chipped in i beleived it would be a quick solution.
Corruption
With large Africa is and how log it has been around it is bound to face some corruption. corruption is in truthful conduct done typically done by people in power. Now in this sense i will be talking bout leaders and warlords. Africa has a large corruption because o people being in power suddenly gaining a lot of power and money. political in this paragraph we will be talking about the most corrupt leader. Forbes has listed Omar Al-Bashar as the worst leader. He disband all political parties, shut down personal news outlets, and started a civil war. And the worst thing is that this is not even that uncommon to happen in Africa and other place that very impoverished. warlords, their is many different warlords in Africa's history, but for this i will be focusing on general butt naked. Joshua Milton Blahya is the real name to general butt naked. He killed hundreds of people and would lead his troops completely naked except for his gun and shoes. how to fix these problems is simple in thought but complicated in execution. The fix to this problem would be implementing a series of checks and balances close to what we have here in America. but the problem comes to with such a illustriously history of corruption they may fall back on to is so have more public eye on them.
The black plague
The continent of Africa is home to many different countries, one in specific is named Madagascar a small island nation off of the coast of Africa. And no i'm not talking about the movie. And in this small country is The boubonic Plague. Madagascar's capital is Antananarivo. The population of this country is 24.89 million, it is a lot of people packed in there like sardines and add not having clean living conditions disease spreads like wild fire. The black plague or known as the black death was one of the most devastating diseases ever to hit mankind. At its peak the black plague it is estimated to have reached death tolls of seventy five to two hundred million people. The fix to this would be to ship and give cleaning and good hygiene products. Another fix would be to give them the drugs and vaccine to help out and fix the problem.
Child Labor
Child labor is defined by the use of children in industry or business especially when in illegal and inhumane working conditions. This is a problem occurring world wide not just in Africa but every where. Africa has the highest incident rates of child labor in winch there is more than 40% of all children aged 5 - 14. These unfortunate children are forced to pull minerals from and rock with little equipment and safety from quarries. Some kids are also forced to work long hot hours farming. and with no safety items and a pickax forced to mine in deep dark caverns. it is very difficult to stop the use of child labor in these areas for the reason of its a large continent. It has tons upon tons of people on it how do you stop all of the child labor on it when you cant even stop it in your own continent. I feel as if the solution to this would be hard enforcement of the law. give more people police jobs and have people crack down hard on the people who are ruining the child labors.
Environmental
The world is a dangerous place, with people and animals out to kill you its even worse knowing that their is the world after you. Natural disasters are a plague unto them self, they have kill hundreds and displaced many more, destroy houses and ripe up terrain. On this big blue marble we live on called earth we are not safe. The earth is trying to kill us every second that we live and breath. It shakes it self to the core with earthquakes kill people, destroying buildings,and tearing the ground its self apart. The world even tries to kill us with the basic necessities that wee need to live. Food like berries are things we need to eat to live there is tons of poisonous berries out in the world that will kill you. Even water most water on earth is not good to drink, not to mention Tsunamis huge pillars of water that leave nothing but destruction in their wake.
Solution
In this blog i have disgussed the many problems that are going on it the large continent of Africa. But it is not all bad it is worth saving If we all recycle the earth will slowly heal, If we Act with common sense humanity will heal its self, and if we try our hardest we will save the planet.
