Portrait on Sub-Saharan Africa
Just found this poll on National Issues, Economy and Personal Well-Being, International Views, conducted in 10 Sub-Saharan countries (Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa) in spring 2007 by The New York Times. Quite some interesting figures, e.g. 54% of Kenyans say, that they are financially better off than five years ago, 17% think that things are about the same while 29% state that the situation is worse. Ethnic / religious conflicts and corrupt political leader are considered a big problem by 78% and 90%.
