The Divided Nations
?
As the earthquake shakes the nation of Haiti,
Afghanistan’s president flees the country for his own safety.
Palestine still in need of freeing from the oppressive regime of the Israelis,
Whilst Yemen starves and the death toll rises daily,
Indian farmers continue their protests and fight for their rights bravely.
?
The Democratic Republic of Congo mine cobalt for the western world using child slaves,
Afro-Mauritanians endure a caste system, though the government refute these claims.
Myanmars in turmoil after the coup d'etat and the NLD are still detained,
And although the SARs unit disbanded, police brutality in Nigeria lamentably remains.
