Africa

When I think of Africa i generally think of it being the opposite of where we live. I think of it as being huge and open, not like our many cities. Another thing I think of is suffering. I picture africa as miles and miles of flat land, with wild animals and a few small villages There is an abundance of people living in Africa, and not nearly enough fresh water for them all. Africa also has a huge problem with malaria. Outrageous numbers of people die because of Malaria in Africa every year. Because of this they also seem behind the rest of the world technologically. They do not have the money for medical care to protect all these people from Malaria, and other medical issues. Another thing I think of with Africa is an unstable government, and the resulting chaos. From what I know, leaders do not have long rules in their nations, and some are corrupt. Africa seems to be full of disaster, because one thing that I have heard about the most from Africa is child soldiers, and it is another thing that makes Africa appear to some of us as an almost uncivilized area. A final thing that I know about Africa is the Darfur Genocide, but even that I do not know much about, because it seems as though Africa is separate from the rest of the world.
