I would disagree; the echo chamber and constant emotional state they are thrusting upon people to prevent them from thinking rationally is more likely. Trump is just a puppet for people to focus on while we still slaughter people throughout the world regardless of who’s the puppet in chief.

Mi país (Venezuela) actualmente enfrenta muchos desafíos que percibimos vivir la vida día por día... Un país donde sus habitantes no tienen ingreso a la moneda ($), una escasez de transporte que requiere a la mayoría de la población usar el transporte ofrecido por el estado (gratis) el metro que ya al pasar los años su rendimiento ha venido en caída desde mal servicio por no requerir al mantenimiento por eso y mas nos enfocamos en vivir el día a día por otro tema que es la alimentación ya que con un sueldo de aproximadamente 5$ al mes no es suficiente para los alimentos, la devaluación de nuestra moneda va en aumento los precios suben todos los días y es terrible.
Un saludo y abrazo al resto de lxs Latinoamericanxs en especial a lxs del SUR.

Hi. I'm Venezuelan and I live in Venezuela, so I find it difficult to choose where to start, but let's start:
1- Physical insecurity: This is a country with a runaway crime, and armed by the same government, armed criminals to defend this alleged revolution, which is nothing more than an assault on power, at this time from the force , because the elections are a farce with the results chosen in advance.
2- Legal uncertainty: The right of property is not respected, the government and its vandals believe they have the right to expropriate, or rather to plunder or steal the work of others.
3- The high cost of living: With the basic salary of a month you can only buy one kg of meat and how we do with the rest
4- The lack of medical supplies: There are no medicines in hospitals, or in medical centers or even in pharmacies, to buy a simple antibiotic you have to look for it in the black market and pay it at exorbitant prices
5- The scarcity of food: The government was responsible for destroying all the country's production to induce hunger and control the people in that way, destroying agriculture, livestock, trade and industries
6- The high level of unemployment; Generated by what was previously narrated
7- The lack of spare parts and supplies and their high cost: In my case I just damaged the "Moden" to connect to the Internet. I originally bought it for 150 Bolívares to buy it today I have to pay 40,000,000 bolivares, something like 20 Steem, in other countries it is not much, in a country like this that the basic salary is less than 2 dollars a month is exaggeratedly expensive . How do I restore it? I'll have to keep asking someone to lend me their internet a moment to continue publishing.
And I'm going to stop here, not because it's all, but because I do not want to be chained in an endless stream of evils that got entangled in my country.
Maybe you wonder why we do not manifest to get them out.
I'll tell you in Venezuela there are hundreds of protests every day, only mass protests can not be made since there are no leaders capable of organizing them, since the alleged opposition is nothing more than a sold out group, delivered and kneeling in front of the criminals who they govern.
The solution?
International intervention Already!

There are a lot of issues as a country, Pakistan we have to address. First of our corrupt leadership last year our prime minister Nawaz Sharif was proved to be involved in the Panama paper scandal but refused to withdraw his seat until the supreme court declared him unlawful and made him resugn forcefully. Another issue that erupted this year is the water shortage throughout the country where our dams are drying up and a survey states that by 2025 Pakistan will be declared for drought.
![IMG-20180619-WA0028.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTLUWymfZqD3Z2XSTbQg85aSNsDci8MpNDCPTPKchkgxj/IMG-20180619-WA0028.jpg)
Just recently I visited some of the drought affected areas and saw with my own eyes the issues that these people are facing gave them clean water and food.
These are real issues that we as a nation have to resolve.

The remote origin of the protests
The situation in Venezuela is not new. Since 2014, the country has experienced cyclical street protests and violent clashes between law enforcement and opposition demonstrators. The circumstances are diverse: on the one hand, an opposition that considers Maduro's electoral base weaker than Chávez's, and observes a window of opportunity; on the other, the perennial and intensified economic crisis of the country.
Venezuela faces numerous problems. The most graphic, the shortage: the state maintains a system of price regulation and distribution that places the value of the products below the market price. Virtually, the vast demand causes that they exhaust themselves with voracity, which causes that they disappear of the shelves. Thus, a fertile black market has flourished, encouraged by the trend, where thousands of Venezuelans come for oil or chocolate.
To the shortage, inflation must be combined: that of Venezuela is the highest in the world and causes that, in a country that depends on imported goods, lower incomes have serious problems to access goods of any kind. In addition, the recent drop in oil prices, which weakened local finances and insecurity (Venezuela is one of the most violent countries in the world) draw a rather hopeless picture for many Venezuelans.

The empire is crumbling. The government is run by the wealthy and only serves the wealthy. The hawlks who dictate policy are looking for another unnecessary war and sooner or later they will find one. The people on all sides of the political spectrum are too willing to give one freedom or another for the illusion of safety. Plus, weed is still illegal so we can't even enjoy ourselves while everything burns around us.

The dictatorship in which we are living, there is no food or medicine, insecurity is killing us, children and the elderly are dying of severe malnutrition. I think that at the moment Venezuela is the poorest country in the world despite having oil, gold, aluminum, beaches, jungles, mountains and desert. Poverty is already extreme, many people are eating from garbage.

Poverty
My country has the largest number of people living in extreme poverty. According to world poverty clock as at the end of may 2018 my country had an estimated 87 million people living in extreme poverty and the level of extreme poverty is growing by 6 people every minute making it the highest number in the world.
Lack of unemployment
The lack of unemployment make youths and sometimes graduates go into begging on the streets. and some engage in bad activities which is really bad all just to make a living so their families could eat.
Disputes between villages, states and religions
Just recently more than 300 people were killed in a village. Rendering children parentless and parents childless and some wiping out their entire family.
The most annoying part of this is that the people in power are not doing about it. It’s very disheartening. I really don’t know if they want to rule a country without people living in the country.

I'm lucky to live in the US where I think people have more of a voice. Like many others we are dealing with corruption and the current administration has brought a lot of that into the light. I hate to admit it but the current political climate may be a good thing in the long run because it's opening people's eyes and I think a lot will get done to make sure something like this won't happen again. It's long past due that we learn how to control money in politics and move towards a government that truly represents everyone and not just the one percent

As a country, I think Nigeria's biggeat challenge is religion. We concentrate too much on it and we're paying the price. Our political issues, poverty, unemployment, all can be traced to the undue level of importance accorded to religious sentiments.
The day we take other salient issues as important as we take religion, then we'll surpass all expectations.

I'm from Ghana. Well, the biggest challenge in my country is made known even by BBC, that is corruption. Recently it was made known that even in our own football association corruption has stunted the growth of football and the development of the country as a whole. The "whales" of the country only think of filling their pockets leaving the poor hungry.
Also, brain drain seems to be another canker that can not be relegated to the background. Young intellectuals like myself always seek opportunities outside the country, apply the knowledge they have acquired somewhere just to make ends meets. This is all because of my country's low economic status. The youth hate to stay and work to develop the nation.
Also, it is very funny to see how our roads are described in journals and newspapers. Setting of from one destination to another is like been held in a time loop. It can take you 3 hours to make a 20mins drive journey. We have poor roads and vehicular infrastructure. Lol i even hate to mention it here. God bless my homeland Ghana
Finally, favouratism and nepotism is killing us. The whom-you-know habit of getting the rich richer and the poor poorer is really something that retards the growth of my nation. This is a big challenge since we end up fixing square pegs into round slots, thus, placing people in certain positions at job places who are certainly unfit and not qualified for the job they seek but because let's say they know the boss so well, they're been given the opportunities while the well and capable man sits home hungry.

My Country faces many challenges in many aspects, but the biggest challenge is in the people's minds, peoplened to wake up and stop being Government dependant, too many people have helped this Social Government reach where it now stands and now, they complain about their actions and also about the inflation rates (super-inflation rates), so the biggest challenge is to educate the whole Country and make them see the wrong things this Government has done and start building a better future, stop complaining and start working hard because the Crisis always creates opportunities for those who are smart enough to rise and defeat the circumstances!

1-Corruption
It has eaten deep into every sector of the government and even the social lives of citizens.Its now a common thing in Nigeria and citizens use phrase like"sharing the national cake"to showcase their strong support for this cancer.
2-Fraud
When it comes to Fraud,Nigeria is definitely topping the charts worldwide.And this is solely as a result of unemployment.Most graduates in Nigeria are jobless and as The Most Populated Black Nation,I guess you can figure out the number of graduates I'm talking about.And the government is doing little or nothing to help,I guess that still leads back to their corrupt nature.
3-Nepotism
It's nothing new down here that if you do not know anyone,you can't go anywhere.Hell....even the First Class Honours will get you nothing unless you are lucky enough.
I have a personal experience of this
I am a 300 level student of Geology at Nnamdi Azikiwe University,AWka,Nigeria.And at this level,I have to go for a six-months IT program as mandated by the university.Now as a student of geology,it's right to apply for Industrial Training in an oil or drilling company or any other related to my course.So I began an adventure of going to various oil companies here in PortHarcourt,Nigeria to apply for IT.And the responses I got were shocking.A Human Resource Personnel was even bold enough to tell me to stop wasting my time and effort,that I have to know someone to be able to engage in IT at their firm.I'm speaking of mere industrial Training,not hunting for a job and I have to know someone?very miserable
4-Unemployment
A large percentage of Nigerian Youths are unemployed including graduates,infact mostly graduates because the uneducated masses are generally skilled and have that as a source of livelihood.Its more pathetic when graduates decide to learn a skill or a trade as a result of unemployment just to survive.
5-Human Rights Marginalization
In Nigeria,Human Rights are trampled upon each and everyday.These rights,sadly,are meant for the rich and priveledged citizens of this nation.A commoner or the poor masses in general get marginalized every single day.I guess wealth and affluence are only recognized here and education is relegated to the very bottom.
I can go on,Sir.But complaining will not make it right,actions will.

Hello!!!
I live in Ukraine. The main problem of my country is a war unleashed by the separatists. Unfortunately, many people in the eastern part of Ukraine have never considered themselves to be Ukrainians. They value Russia, since many Russians came 85 years ago from Russia and settled in Ukraine. After the communist rulers took away the food from the Ukrainians, and millions of indigenous Ukrainians died of hunger, entire villages remained empty. Here, in these empty houses, Russians settle.
Now they in their republic have built a nostalgic past for the Soviet power. They do not want to recognize Ukraine, but they want to receive pensions and benefits from Ukraine. They hoped that Putin would take the Donbass to Russia But Putin is not interested in the Donbass, here he made a gray zone. Now there are no prospects, the youth has left either to Russia or to central Ukraine.
