Transcript: History Sudan was colonized by the United Kingdom Sudan gained their independence on on January first,1956. Egypt used to have some power over Sudan. Rwanda Genocide Rwanda One Million Dollar Decision Current Events Major History We think that the one million dollars should go to Zimbabwe. How It Will Help In The Future Sierra Leone had the most brutal civil war in all of Africa. It lasted from 1991 to 2002. The rebel RUF (Revolutionary United Front) made children become soldiers to fight their own people and government. The Hut Tax War was a simple dispute in 1898 with a man who did not like taxes and a few hundred British soldiers. The British and United Kingdom had more resistance in this simple war than when they had colonized the country. Major Problems Zimbabwe Faces Today Sudan today is not necessarily on of the richest countries Sudan's population is 37.2 million people. Sudan has some land that is good for farming. Egypt, which borders Sudan, is one of Sudan's allies Zimbabwe selfish racist violent he was arrested Wars and Conflicts Sierra Leone My country is called Sierra Leone. They were colonized by the United Kingdom and earned their independence on April 27, 1961. Their capitol is called Freetown. Top five poorest countries in Africa Very literate Main income comes from farming Became independent in 1980 Rwanda Today 68% of people are living under the poverty line. The risk for infectious disease is very high. Their unemployment rate is 95% (2009) They are 521.9 million US dollars in debt. (2012) They have 196 airports but only 17 are paved. Life Today The Democratic Republic of the Congo was colonized in 1876 by the Belgium. There was a major problems with dictators while the DRC was colonized. The most well known was King Leopold the 3rd. He would cut off peoples` right hand if they disobeyed the law. The Democratic Republic of the Congo gained there independence on June 30, 1960 Cause: The death of the president Juvenal Habyarimana (Hutu) when his plane was shot down. The Genocide: The Hutu believed the Tutsi caused Juvenal's death, so they began to kill the Tutsi As many as one million people died They used machetes to kill, because the bullets were getting scarce and expensive. Major History famine unemployment disease racism economic chaos harsh living conditions debt poverty human trafficking Modern Problems How would Sudan and the world benefit from the money? Democratic Republic of the Congo Sudan borders: Egypt Libya Eritrea Ethiopia Kenya Uganda Chad Central African Republic Democratic Republic of the Congo How It Will Help Sudan has had two civil wars since independence The first civil war was from 1955-1972. It was northern Sudan against southern Sudan. Southern Sudan won and be came independent from Sudan Sudan's second civil war lasted from 1983-2005. This war was against Darfur. A Sierra Leonian's lives today are very difficult. They have a rapid population growth. They overharvest fish and timber. Only 43.3% of people are literate. 77% of urbanized areas have no sanitation. The risk for infectious disease is very high. They have a constitutional democracy. Their President is Ernest Bai Koroma. 48% of children suffer from child labor. Facts United Nations Presentation The major problem that the DRC faced was finding people to fill jobs. The people were not trained to work the important jobs. Some of the jobs that could not be filled were any jobs in the medical field, where law degrees were needed, or political jobs. The crime rate in the DRC has also greatly increased in the past few years. Where there is not lack in disease, there is a great amount of resources gone from the DRC`s rich soil. Sudan It can help by stabilizing the country itself and eventually other countries as well. The literacy rate is very high in Zimbabwe so they could use the money to start some sort of reading school to teach people from other countries to read They could use the money to enforce or make the military better and they could help protect other countries The airports add more jobs and make more money for the economy. History: Originally colonized by Germany Colonized by Belgium during World War 1 Gained independence in 1962 Was a very beautiful country, until the genocide Sudan is involved in many conflicts. One million dollars could stabilize the country. If the country became more stable, some of the conflicts that Sudan has could be resolved. Major Problems: Poverty Education Economy Disease/ Sickness Building the Country: Since the genocide, the economy of Rwanda is extremely weak Citizens can barely feed their families with the money they earn, yet the country is slowly recovering Based on Jim Harvey's speech structures Paul Kagame Robert Mugabe
