Afghanistan



I have learned very much about Afghanistan. I have learned about all of its health issues, pollution, and low employment. I have also learned about Afghanistan's high death rate caused by the small amounts of clinics as well as doctors. The reason there are not many doctors is that there is a low literacy rate. Also, women can very rarely became doctors or nurses. High death rates occur because of the large amount of babies and mommies that die at birth because the babies are born at home. Pollution is a large problem because of the chemicals put into it and the bacteria that gets in it. Some of the health problems are because if diseases that get made in clinics because the clinics are not well sterilized. A variety of children are forced to work in mines so that their family has more money for food and other necessary things.

Water Pollution in Afghanistan.
On Friday December 4, US Marines were sent to Southern Afghanistan. They were sent there to try and stop the Taliban from communicating and moving drugs around. It is a very complicated task because the people that use to live there moved out, leaving the land to the Taliban. They take advantage of that land to grow opium poppy. What will also make this very hard is that the Afghan government is very weak.

The Taliban.
I think that if the Taliban could get destroyed it would help the government be stronger. If they were gone i think that since the government would be stronger, than they could do something to make there be less pollution. Also, they would be able to have more clinics and doctors. Which would then cause the unemployment rate to go down as well as the death rates. I think that the Afghan government should do a little more effort to fix things.
