10 Most Dangerous Places For Children
Read this article from Reuters about the ten most dangerous places in the world for children.
1.DARFUR, SUDAN
2.NORTHERN UGANDA
3.DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (Where United Nations peacekeepers stand accused of sexually exploiting children, giving them food for sex.)
4.IRAQ (Of course it is mentioned that children live worse now than they did under Saddam Hussein. Why did they have to mention that? What about all of the children who were gassed and displaced under his regime and the girls raped and tortured by Saddam’s sons and their thug friends??)
5.SOMALIA (Female genital mutilation is widespread.)
6.INDIA (1.2 million children under five die from malnutrition every year.)
7.AFGHANISTAN (disease is the main killer)
8.PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES (”refugee camps see few better opportunities than joining an armed faction” ??? Is this true? What about how the terrorist organizations like HAMAS use these poor children in the conflict as human shields in order to make themselves look like victims against the “Israeli oppressors”?? Why isn’t that mentioned in the article?)
9.MYANMAR (Many boy soldiers are forced to commit atrocities against ethnic minorities.)
10.CHECHNYA
Now Look at The Countries with the highest birthrates. (from aneki.com)
1 Niger 48.91
2 Uganda 47.45
3 Mali 47.29
4 Afghanistan 47.27
5 Chad 46.50
6 Somalia 46.04
7 Angola 45.14
8 Liberia 44.81
9 Congo, Democratic Republic of the 44.73
10 Burkina Faso 44.46
So more children are being born into these nightmarish environments than in more peaceful nations. I guess progressivism and abortion rights is doing its job.

I wrote more about the issue of the low birth rate of the West on January 10. Here is the post. Here is a post about a rich selfish Western woman using her “right” to kill her baby because she simply did not have the time for another. Try telling that to the poor refugee woman of Africa struggling to feed her 6 to 7 children!! Wake up Western women!!! Are SUVs really more important than caring for our children?? We complain about feeding our children while living in huge homes, wearing too many outfits, eating out at MacDonald’s, and driving SUVs we don’t need. At least we aren’t running from madmen who take away our food and force us to live in a camp. Do all of those material objects really make our children happier?? I don’t plan to live like an Amish woman and believe in epidurals, but I think it is wrong to choose a luxury item or a career over having children.
Having 10 children in a refugee camp is not smart either by the way (those women do not have the right to say “no” however). These are two extremes. I MUST have that SUV and that huge house so I can’t afford children, and I have no food but since I am a woman and lower than the man I must give in to his desires even if it means I will get pregnant because the Koran says I must do that. I would rather live neither.

NMW, thanks for this post. We don’t even stop to think about the rest of the world sometimes, do we? Or about what is truly important. What must the Lord think about the behavior of His children?

Personally I think along the very same lines as you Ambar, and don’t you just wake up every day feeling lucky to live neither?
‘The Lord’ and his various manifestations are a big part of the bloody problem. Or rather, people’s belief.
