Around 100 U.S troops have arrived in Niger. These troops are stationed in Niger to aid the French surveillance effort in subjugating Islamic militia. However, the Malian Islams have become exceedingly adept at avoiding espionage; they have succeeded in avoiding French warplanes by disappearing into Mali away from towns.

In order to quell terrorism, the U.S attempts to stultify the flow of cash to radical groups. In Kenya, Somali money-- marked by terrorism-- results in economic depression due to the extortion of money by Kenyan officials. In fact, about 5% of Kenya's GDP has been tainted by Somalian terrorist groups. Furthermore, Kenyan police have made questionable arrests with little evidence to support terrorism.

Even after the Rwanda massacre in 1994, Rwanda is making steps in the right direction to get health care coverage to all its citizens. One of the most amazing things about this is that Rwanda is one of the poorest countries in the world. The life expectancy rates have risen 10% in the past 10 years from 48% to 58%. Staggering malaria statistics show that malaria deaths have decreased by around two-thirds in the past five years. These improvements were made possible by the more affordable health insurance programs that are sweeping the nation.
