Ten-point plan seeks to halve world poverty within a decade
Hold on to your pocketbooks, the UN is trying to make itself relevant and respectable, via Lucianne:Every year, 11 million children die - most under the age of five and more than 6 million of them from preventable causes such as malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia. In some of the most impoverished African nations, less than half of the children are in primary school, fewer still go to secondary school. Around the world, 114 million children do not receive basic formal education. In a world where more than one billion people live on less than US$1 a day, sub-Saharan Africa emerges as the worst afflicted. The continent is burdened with a unique combination of foetid poverty, declining life expectancy and falling income per head. All at a time when so much of the developing world, particularly Asia and Latin America, is enjoying economic growth.... Hey, commie-lite, SOCIALISM KILLS, FREE MARKETS FEED (thanks Protest Warrior), OPEN UP THE EU! And swing the corrupt dictators from the yard-arm. Posted by: anonymous2u 2005-01-18 |
