In class today we devoted more time to learning more about the world through the CIA World Fact book. Most of the facts that we learned about were pretty unfortunate and sad. For example, Africa is the worst when it comes to the HIV virus because pretty much all of the top countries with the worst HIV cases are in Africa. Another one of the worst percentages that is high in Africa is the infant mortality rate. African countries occupy the top numbers in this category too. A less sad category is the net migration rate in Syria, for every 1000 people in Syria, about 113 people are leaving for safety, probably because of the war and extremist groups that are taking over the corrupted country.
The complete opposite is happening to Syria's neighbor country, Lebanon they are gaining tons of people because of Syria. For every 1000 about 83 are from somewhere else. I hope all these countries recover.
