Worst Place to Be Born

The UN and an eager media make their case for Afghanistan is world's worst place to be born. Girls especially. No doubt. But the UN is playing its role as enabler for the continued occupation and the need for war...save the kids.

GENEVA, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Eight years after a U.S.-led invasion ousted the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, the war-ravaged state is the most dangerous place in the world for a child to be born, the United Nations said on Thursday.

It is especially dangerous for girls, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said in launching its annual flagship report, The State of the World's Children.

Afghanistan has the highest infant mortality rate in the world -- 257 deaths per 1,000 live births, and 70 percent of the population lacks access to clean water, the agency said.

As Taliban insurgents increase their presence across the country, growing insecurity is also making it hard to carry out vital vaccination campaigns against polio, a crippling disease still endemic in the country, and measles that can kill children. {more}

Saving the kids is secondary to saving the crops and maintaining that half a trillion or more heroin trade.

The CIA and the globalist bankers covet this golden opportunity.

"Everything is so cheap—it's all totally fine like it is, right? Over there, I mean. Why would you want to…do the…[garbled]." {more}
