Three major diseases in Djibouti and some reasons why people don't have Healthcare

AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis are the three major diseases in Djibouti. AIDS is a STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) virus that weakens and destroys your immune system. According to the CIA WORLD FACT BOOK and you can get malaria from mosquitoes. You can get tuberculosis from the air when someone sneezes or even coughs. Djibouti gives $12 million US dollars to improve the control of those three diseases 14% of Djibouti women that are 15-24 are HIV infected. According to the World Health Organization 2 million people in the world die from malaria and 400 to 500 million are infected each year.
Children are 75% of these deaths because pregnant women are high at risked targets.
A good thing about malaria is that preventable, detectable, and curable. While AIDS and tuberculosis is not.http://www.afrol.com/articles/12923.

Do to poverty in Djibouti, 75% of the population can not afford health care. Most people in Djibouti who have health care maybe own there own business or it has been donated to them. What I mean by donated is that there are a lot of companies but one of the infamous ones are the UN (short for United Nations). If you donate to that company you can give a child in Djibouti something to eat and maybe Health care. The UN does not only go to Djibouti but to everywhere in the world. Help Djibouti out.

Djibouti Needs Our Help

Djibouti needs major countries such as the U.S. to help feed and employ its people in return for the nation's hospitality. Most of the country's young males do not have jobs and are waiting to be employed by the U.S. military. About half of the population only earns $2 a day, giving them a weekly income of a mere 14 dollars! One third of Djibouti's children are suffering from chronic or acute malnutrition.

Civil War in Djibouti 1991-1994

Front for the Restoration of Unity (FRUD) began fighting Issa-dominated government of Djibouti which were the French territory of Afars and Issas. Afars made up a lot of the population, which probably gave them more power over the country. While the Issas was a big group but didn't have the amount of power that the Afars had. The Afars were in the north and west and the Issas were in the south. In early 1992, the French peace keeping forces were sent in Djibouti and made Afars rebel soldiers ceasefire. Then in late 1992, they started again in Tadjoura,many people died and hundreds were injured during the battle. The president formed a balance between Afars and Issas in 1993. FRUD split apart over discussions and disagreements which led to peace in Djibouti.

Population Density

The population in Djibouti is estimated to be at at least 703,000 people.The population density is 28!per sq km
There are at least 100,000 kids in Djibouti. Its estimated that 18,000 die of hunger daily. Its only 82,000 less but still think of how many of those kids are Djibouti's. So only about 603,000 are adults.

People that have HIV in Djibouti

Most of these women have little education and do not know how to protect themselves against HIV. Almost five percent of all women between 15 and 49 years of age in Djibouti are infected with HIV. A lot of the women who have the virus don't really now they have it and they spread it on.But its just like every country, they don't get checked out for the virus. For men it is 15-30.Which is sad for both sexes.
