HOW TO HELP POOR PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan is a country in the Middle East of Asia, with a huge population of more than twenty nine million (29,000,000) people. The country of Afghanistan has a long history of war and as of this present they still suffer from threats and emerging struggle of political and socio-economic and religious conflicts between neighboring countries. This resulted in poverty, crimes and low economic performance and health problems that is still unresolved because usually the government focuses their attention more in defense and insurgency more than economic development and peace and order.
The result of this long history of war is suffering, famine and scarcity that this country has been considered as one of the poorest country of the world. Usually during war civilian people suffered, some of them are wounded in gunshots some died in air strikes while some hide in the villages like rats. Luckily there are also people who have been protected by the government but their lives are miserable, children do not to attend schools while parents usually cannot find a job. Some innocent children and women are also have been used and abused by soldiers to join military exercises and their minds are conditioned to use guns and military weapons preparing them to battle.
