africa: Global Inequality 'Grotesque', Trends 'Ambiguous' - UNDP Report

The Human Development Report, an annual measurement of global poverty issued by the United Nations Development Programme, once again provides an indicator of Africa's economic woes. A total of 27 African countries are included on the list of the world's 173 least developed nations, and 52 of the countries at the bottom are African. Sierra Leone, which has been racked by war for the past decade, ranks as the worst place to live.
