How Swaziland Is A Developing Country

When visiting South Africa, I was intrigued at the beauty of the country, but was also curious as to how the country was dealing with one of Africa’s largest problems, AIDS/HIV. With the AIDS epidemic having started over 25 years ago, the disease continues to affect the population of Africa, especially South Africa, the nation with 5.6 million people living with HIV, the most in the world. Much of South Africa’s history of struggle with the virus is attributed to misinformation given by Thabo Mbeki, a former president, who “questioned the link between HIV and AIDS” and his former health minister who misled the nation with ideas that the virus could be treated with “beets and

The world as a whole should be mortified by what is happening in Sub-Saharan Africa. In places like Swaziland, Botswana, Lesotho poverty, crime and systematic corruption are the tinder for the fire that is the HIV epidemic in Africa.

This leaves health programs not a priority when helping the country’s own people fight against AIDs. This leaves other countries to care for the people of Swaziland and to prevent the spread of HIV. The United States has supported Swaziland in fighting against HIV/AIDS. The priorities are to; improve access to clinical services, improve the quality of care, available testing, counselling for those who have HIV, and implementing activities to strengthen the national health system.

Robert Mugabe spent ten years in prison before assuming the presidency of Zimbabwe. Instead of learning from his time in prison, he brought all his poor habits of corruption to the country of Zimbabwe (“Zimbabwe’s” 1). During his powerful rule, Zimbabwe faced many different situations within his country. Within the first few years of Mugabe being president, Zimbabwe started to have some political and economical issues. Whether or not the issues are a direct correlation to Mugabe being president is unknown, but the timing is impeccable. Money was starting to disappear within the government causing an economic crisis, and Zimbabwe was having massive poverty and inflation increases. These issues led to the conspiracy of a corrupt government

Swaziland lie on the fifth lowest place in the world on the index of life expectancy, according to the CIA World Fact Book, with expected life is on average 49,2 years. (3) The UN have in their MDG's informed that the goal is to reduce the number of child death before the age of 5 from 180/1000 children to 60/1000 children by 2015. In 2008, they where down to 129, meaning they are going in the right direction, but not fast enough. Swaziland is a part of the area which are referred to as Sub-Sahara Africa, having HIV/AIDS problems like no other area in the world.

There is a troubling surge in malaria and diphtheria, two diseases eradicated in the 1970s and 1990s respectively. Furthermore, the country has short supplies of antiretrovirals medicine to treat the infected population with HIV/AIDS, exposing others of infection.

The regions around Robert Mugabe have fallen apart under loose governments. Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe ran a beautiful, prosperous nation straight into the ground. Also like The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Joseph Kabila, who is said to play video games while his country falls apart(Gettleman 1). Kagame routinely stays up to 2 or 3am to go through issues of The Economist or study progress reports from red-dirt villages across his country. He is constantly searching for better, more efficient ways to save the billion dollars his government gets each year from donor nation. These things show exactly what other nations in the region should be trying to do with the money they are given. This matters because although Kagame runs his country in a way new to Africa, what he does for his country works and shows what others should be doing. Staying up for long hours and working hard to help Rwanda has benefit the country and many of Rwanda's neighboring countries could learn from looking at what Kagame

Both developing and developed nations were part of the set. The developed nations consisted of 47% of the total set. We started with 43 nations and dropped a few countries later from the analysis because of missing data.

In fact, the situation in those countries is relatively complicated and not easy to assess. Several aspects contribute to the destructive conditions in the sub-Saharan region.

Each of these aspects will be separately analyzed in the following paragraphs.

Africa is beautiful. Swaziland is very small. May is fall there. This is about the land.

Developing nations are filled with hope and aspirations of one day becoming a wealthy, dominating, and influential country. These nations can sometimes be unsafe, difficult to live in, and hard for workers to earn good compensation for their labor. On the other hand, living in a developed nation has many upsides. Developed nations are wealthy, which in turn have good infrastructure, labor and worker laws, and have less crime.

1. South Africa was called the hopeless continent 16 years ago. Much of the negative world view stemmed from wounds created by government supported racial segregation which continues to affect South Africa’s economy today; however, the abundant resources and potential economic growth of this country should not be overlooked. Despite wounds from its past South Africa has a wealth of resources which make it an important country to the world and to the United States. South Africa’s history directly correlates to the countries stagnation in economic growth today, but its resources and economic potential continue to make it an interest to countries like China, which is why the United States has to take an interest in the stability and relevance of this increasingly hopeful region.
