The pictorial shows how perpetrators of civil wars take advantage of children. Children are enlisted in rebel army ranks in many armed conflicts in the African continent. Amnesty International estimates that over 250, 000 children under the age of 18 years take part in armed conflicts. UNICEF reports that the services of more than 300-000 children are used in the armed conflicts in the DRC. The services of child soldiers have been enlisted in virtually all armed conflicts in Africa. Talk of Zairean Tutsi fighters in the DRC, the Young Somali Islamist fighters, the Al-shabab militias, Joseph Kony's Lords Resistance Army in Uganda and the Liberian United for Reconciliation and Democracy fighters. The United States backed Somali government also enlisted child soldiers (Anonymous, n.d.).
Armed conflicts that have led to conscription of child soldiers into rebel army ranks are occasioned by competition over land. Land continues to be very scarce as population grows....
Because of agricultural intensification and commercialization, the value of land has also gone high in many regions. In areas where we currently have armed conflicts, land was traditionally used for farming and herding. As customary institutions that balanced different interests weakened, tension ensued. People started competing for strategic natural resources like few irrigated lands, water points, and pastures. Conflicts that have been witnessed in southern Africa have largely been occasioned by inequitable land distribution and slow land reform programs. This can be cited in Zimbabwean case where many white owned commercial farms were invaded (Cotula, Toulmin & Hesse, 2004). The Zimbabwean case echoes the need for land reforms and reparations. Private investors' activities have also generated conflicts (Moyo, 2008). These individuals use the lands for commercial production and speculation to mining at the expense of the local natives. People who seek land where they can settle and farm also contribute to too many land conflicts in Africa. Large numbers of people flow into such areas to settle and farm. There are…
Urbanization and Foreign Aid Africa has long been the site of urbanization and foreign aid since the so-called Scramble for Africa (Hopkins, 1993, p. 489). Other sources, however, indicate that if one were to look at the formal influence of colonization, the many different countries in Africa have been receiving a sort of 'forced' foreign aid even prior to the Scramble of Africa. As such, there has been a substantial amount
This in turn drew more workers (Hassan 2004). The result is that Kuala Lumpur has added millions to its population and enjoys a far greater average annual income than does rural Malaysia. Indeed, Harris-Todaro also helps to explain urban-urban migration in Malaysia. As Kuala Lumpur has grown to be the country's primate city, it has captured migration from smaller urban areas, including the region's former primate cities such as
In developed nations this is easier because technologies and materials, often expensive and hard to come by, can help to mitigate pollution. In less developed nations, pollution is often somewhat of an afterthought as a product of production or prosperity (Termorshuizen, Opdam, and van den Brink, 380). By creating cheaper, more fuel efficient technologies and by making them available to all nations, pollution in the third world and developing
Tillburg planners use a problem-solution strategy that will be familiar to many CEOs and corporate executives. The basic process is as follows: 1. problem recognition - to identify all problems in the neighborhood; 2.agreement - to discuss the results together; 3.the solution - how the recognized problems can be solved; 4.the responsibilities - who is responsible for carrying out the solution; 5.the agreement - are individuals and organizations in agreement with the solutions.

1995, 359-365). However, Chicago is well placed due its geographical location to weather many of these ills. Being centrally located in the Midwest, it enjoys good lines of communication and trade with the rest of the country, mitigating many of the more extreme problems. Unfortunately, what is happening in Chicago is the result of years of developments in the deindustrialization of the city. Recently, studies have shown that this
