    Just randomly came through the video and really felt bad about the people in it.

    Posted about it and thought to share about it here.

    You can see the video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58_1bCh2ig

    And my words on that one can be read here
    Please share your thoughts here or in the blog!

    The world really needs to change :(

    We should be glad and thankful to god for what we have. I feel sorry for the poor souls and if only there's something we can do to help.
    On and off I made donation whenever I have money and I always hope that can at least make a difference.

    Its very disturbing how these people are living with these very low standards... I wish I could remember the url but I once read on the web that in some african countries, families spend as low as $2 per week on food...
    Now what is more disturbing is reading some of the comments on the video..

    I know that most youtube commentators are usually asses but can they be any more shallow and selfish ??

    Definitely one of the saddest videos about the current situation in Africa...


    Richer countries are not paying enough attention to what is happening in Africa...Sooner or later they are going to be affected for their misdeeds...

    Instead of spending billions on Defence Bush could atleast give a few billions to these african countries like Somalia which is in Famine

    The other big culprit is Saudi Arabia and the Gulf..Which is aiding Terrorism by sale of oil... and not doing enough to these poor countries...

    And whether these are needed ???

    Why give anything to Africa? Most of the money and food goes to the government and not to the people..
    It's their country/states, let them work it out.

    And who are you to tell anyone what to do with their assets?

    I am the Dictator of World !!!!! .....:)


    When you have something more than enough and if your brother or sister is nothing having enough you will definitely help them ...Likewise you need to know that those people may be your brothers and sisters and not aliens....

    You should really help them out...

    Atleast Some Countries are helping to a certain extent but these Arab Countries are doing nothing...
