    Africare is an international organization that helps increase food production, get more clean water, better the environment and strengthen the health care in Africa. This will help raise the HDI in countries in Africa because it is helping to improve two major factors of HDI. It is helping to create longer and healthier lives and a better standard of living. Increasing both of these things will raise the HDI in countries in Africa.

Two hostages, gunman dead in Sydney siege - CNN.com - 2 views

  • a self-styled Muslim cleric had been holding hostages early Tuesday, killing the gunman.
  • According to his social media posts, the hostage-taker appears to have embraced a radical Sunni theology.
  • They were holding up a black flag with Arabic writing on it reading, "There is no God but God and Mohammed is the prophet of God."
  •  
    this relates to religious conflicts and what we have been learning in class because this event is about a sunni Muslim man who is carrying out attacks to spread the beliefs of his religion.
