I want to scream it to everyone I meet.Instead I39ll focus on two that really bother me.Unfortunately Niger is one of those countries where if it doesn39t rain just the right amount an unusually high number of babies die. If you put seeds in the ground and nothing happens there isn39t a whole lot you can do. You jus http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/Niamey/blog-780088.html Continuing in the theme of THE BOMB Niger is the next example that shows examples of these catalysts of poverty. The most prominent aspect of The Bomb that Niger reflects is a combination of Health and Disease and Bad Geography. Niger is one of the worlds poorest countries as is physically evident through its malnourished citizens. These hungry bellies are a result of poor geography as inco http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-778990.html Niger is the worlds second poorest county. The people of Niger are struggling because of the disasters that happen because the geographical location. Also there are problems with health and a problem with over population. Since Niger gained its independence in 1960 from France the county has been struggling with providing food. Niger is also challenged with farming and healthcare. Because http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-775477.html NigerT.H.E B.O.M.BNiger is the world39s second poorest country which is located in western Africa. The two biggest issues in Niger are the hunger problem and poor heath care. Many of the country39s children are dying because of extreme malnutrition. In the article Niger39s Anguish by Michael Wines says that Of every 1000 children born alive in Niger which is the world39s seco http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-774019.html Niger is a poor country in Africa. Nigerians suffer from malnutrition and lack of health care. In fact according to nation master only 28 of the population has acccess to adequate sanitation facilities The government attempts to asist the country but fails miserably due to the lack of money. There are simply too many to take care of and people keep having babies when they can39t even afford http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773590.html After reading the articles and watching the video39s the most eye opening thing to me was reading about Niger. This country is in very bad shape. It is the second poorest country in the world and is only getting worse. There is a terrible famine that is devastating the whole country. Out of every 1000 children that are born 262 fail to make it to the age of 5. Although the situation in Niger i http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773589.html Niger is the secondpoorest country in the the world. Famine disease bad government and bad geography have caused much of the chaos in Niger.Famine and malnutrician is common for many people of Niger. It doesn39t help that erratic rainfall and severe food shortages within the agricultural and herding belts are occuring as well. A shortfall in a staple diet food millet for the poeple only a http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773587.html Niger is way behind in technology not able to produce much food without irrigation systems. They have also suffered from famine. Their are not many hospitals people suffer from anemia malaria and starvation. Not many kids go to school because they would rather work for their family. The government gives little help to those in need. Their are not enough crops for everyone so people are starving. http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773583.html Niger is the worlds second poorest country and much of its problems come from its geography or where it is located in the world. Niger also lacks modern technology and has few of the modern tools that might enable it to feed itself. Many children in Niger die of malnutrition while famines ravage farmers and herders. Of every 1000 children born alive in Niger 262 fail to reach their fifth bithday http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773581.html Severe Food Shortages Niger is the world39s second poorest country with 17078839 people averaging about 800 a year. The main problem here is famine. In fact 1 in 5 people die due to malnutrition.

Technology as most of the world knows it is non existant most of its people are nomadic herders and small farmers who have been devistated by drought.

The food shortage in Niger could be considered one of the worst results of famine the world has ever seen. Unpredictable rainfall doesn39t help the situation and neither does the scarcity of clean water sources. Some would consider this a geographical problem but it could also be considered one of military conflict as well. Niger was dependent on France until http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773147.html Niger is a poor african country with a high level of poverty and disease. in terms of modern technology there is very little infastructire that would help economic growth. the government has struggled for the past 50 years since becoming an independent nation. the majority of the nation is limited to agricultural jobs 90 according to cia world factbook and there are very few educated people. http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Niger/blog-773141.html NigerT.H.E.

It is very difficult for these children to survive and out of every 1000 children born about 262 will not reach their fifth birthday.
