He is an African child and just like every child around the world, he deserves decent medical care but of every 5 kids born on his continent,atleast 2 die before they get to age 5. Many die of malnutrition and malaria.
He is an African child! His education ought to be a priority and should be free but there are millions like him who never have the opportunity to see what a classroom looks like all their lives let alone get primary education. He is an African child! Hospitals in his village are imaginary and where they exist, they are free of medical care meanwhile,millions of dollars given in aid to his continent is stolen even as budgetary allocations to the health care system is devastatingly poor.23% of doctors in the USA alone come from his continent.
He is an African child.
From his continent, $1trillion is stolen every year by thieves to developed economies. His leaders are about the highest paid in the world and when they are sick,they run to London, Paris,Lisbon, Madrid etc depending on who their colonial masters are.
He is an African child.
Many like him are street beggars with poor and many times irresponsible parents. He is taught that God made it so and he can't question God.He is raised to take hard drugs on the streets,celebrate his political oppressors ignorantly and steal to feed himself.Soon he gets to fancy taking arms as he get easily radicalized and the same government who failed to take care of him sends soldiers against him and he is killed defending his belief.
He is an African child!
He is taught that his religion and ethnicity is more important to him than anything else. This he must defend at all cost even with his life if need be. He is told that western education isn't for him and asking for alms is noble.
