Central Africa is the Region That Should Recieve the Most Help

""Many people will disagree and say that a different region of Africa needs help." Why would "many" people say that central isn't as deserving as other? May be it isn't if so many think that way. "These days, Africa is constantly in the spotlight for corruption, economic failure, HIV/AIDS, malnutrition and other negative things. If you go to a news website, such as http://www.cnn.com...... you will see that practically everything when you click on "Africa" is negative. Africa's conditions are widely publicized, so many people will be aware of the bad things." Yes. But, not everybody watches the news. It is true, and the areas that are being publicised really are usffering and need a lot of help. Central does suffer, but not as badly as others do. If this region did, then it would be in the news just as much as places like Darufr. The press does not hold anything against Central Africa. They just report what is happening. If Central Africa really needed a lot of help, then they would publicize it. Why do we need to give more help to a region that doesn't suffer as much? This leads me to my next point. Well based on the fact you've given, you're saying that the majoraty of people see Central Africa as better than others. Well if it's so much better than all other regions then why should aid be given to that region? I don't see any proof on why it would be more deserving(at least not that you've given). "Who's to say I'm against this? If I say Central Africa is the Region that Should Recieve the Most Help, even if it is a misnomer, you should be able to pick up on the fact that this is a region-versus-region thing; not really a region-verus-the whole continent of Africa. What I mean is that Central Africa is the region that stands out for the most help out of every other INDIVIDUAL region." You have not given me proof as to why Central deserves the most help. As I have stated before, all of Africa's regions share the same problems. Some regions suffer and are affected more than others. If one region is suffering more, I believe that it deserves mroe help than ones that are not suffering as much. Again, these problems such as HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, and corruption are not exclusive to just Central Africa. "Judging from a recent articles, there ARE conditions and problems in Central Africa. Also, judging from the list of articles (basically problems) from the website, (http://www.cnn.com......) there aren't that many articles recognizing Central Africa." But, the problems such as malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, and corruption are more dominant and active in other regions. South Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS rate. Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa, and is full of starving children. You have not shown me the problems and conditions in Central Africa and why Central deserves the most help. Maybe, there are not many articles about Central, becuase not as many things are happening there at the moment. There are not civil wars or fighting goind on at the moment like there is in Kenya. Just because Central Africa is not in the news as much, defiantnly does not mean that it is not suffering, but does mean that some regios are suffering more. Since this is the case, the regions that are suffering more need more help. "Just because the DRC has more natural resources does NOT mean it has had access to these resources. Also, Sudan is not landlocked. It has access to the Red Sea, which has access to the ocean." Just becuase other regions have resources does not mean that they have acess to them either. Therefore, that argument is useless. I am sorry about my mistake on Sudan. There are other land-locked countries in Africa besides ones in Central. Actually, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia,and Zimbabwe are all land-locked countries in Africa. Most are not in Central Africa. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is considered "nearly-land-lcoked." http://en.wikipedia.org... "Right now, we are debating on which region SHOULD recieve the most help." No, we are debating on whether or not Central Africa should recieve the most help out of all the regions in Africa. It is your job to prove to me why Central should get the most help. You have not done so yet. "I believe all I have been able to post so far is an opening statement." I apoligize, but in an opening statement, you should support your opinion with some facts and/or details. You did not. "I do not think my opponent understands what we are debating about. " I think I do. I have rebuted your statements and have argued as to why Central Africa does not deserve the most help out of all the regions in Africa. Other regions are suffering more. Don't they deserve/need more help? It is like giving more money to the rich. I am not stating that Central Africa is by any means rich or problme-free, for all the regions of Africa suffer. I am statung that other regions are suffering more and therefore need more help. Isn't that logical? Central does deserve help, but not "the most." "*Central Africa is not recognized as one of the top regions in Africa that need help." Maybe, this is for a reason. If it was really and truely suffering like some of the other regions then it would be recognized as "one of the top regions in Africa that needs help." "*The Southern region has a good economy compared to other regions. The Northern region has more education. The Eastern and Western region have many resources and access to the coast." The Southern Region does have a better economy, but is this helping their region? The Northern Region may have education, but a lot of violence between ethnic groups. The Eastern and Western regions do have resources, but do they have access to most of them? No. Also, not all the countries have access to the coast as I mentioned earlier. "Lots of Central Africa is covered in rainforest." Pretty much all of Western Africa is covered in rainforest. "*You can also see from the link above that Central Africa is on the equator. This means since it is tropical, there will be lots of Malaria, which is fatal, and many people do not have mosquito nets and such to protect themselves." Many countries border the equator and share the same problem. http://www.medicalecology.org... From this map, you can see that many other regions in Africa suffer from malaria. Again, not just Central Africa. I would like to ask you how much help is Central Africa recieving right now compared to other regions? Thank you and I await your responce. :)
