__** Challenges facing Africa **__ 1990's-present

One of the challenges is that poverty is at the heart of Africa problem. Some of the economic challenges is facing the continent. The world banks lowest income category is in the Sub-Saharan Africa. In the middle of the countries sizeable section of this population is living in poverty. The economy is more stable and trade is relatively high. Also, Aids is less prevalent. African nation needs help to get out of poverty. The poor countries in Africa are eligible for the scheme that they face. A third of the total aids that is given by the government that Africa receive. People in Africa argue that Aids is far more effective. In the late 1990's there’s a sharp drop in rich countries spending on aids. Africa is rich in natural resources. The natural resources that they have or need there are minerals, timber, and oil. We think that trade is difficult for people in Africa. The factors there include poor infrastructure. The poor countries and agencies argue that international trade rules are unfair. Some people in Africa fight each other for food. Also, African people fight to survive. HIV/Aids are destroying the continent of Africa. Hunger is almost every where in Africa. The conflicts exist in Nigeria. In Africa there is continued violence and insecurities that affect millions of people. From 2002 to 2008 the Niger-delta witnessed twice the number of deaths from conflict. The African Union continue to play a critical role in conflict resolution and in promoting peace and security.  **We chose this topic to research because it seemed very interesting and we would rather learn about the conflicts and its effects in Africa. While researching this topic we learned alot about their problems and their struggles for younger and older Africans. From people to places we realized what goes on in many parts of Africa which made it even more interesting. Comparing it to the struggles we have here in the United states made us realize that when we think we have it bad we have nothing on them and we're sure they would rather OUR lives and OUR struggles any day.** media type="custom" key="3956523" width="248" height="175"
