联合国宣布1996年为“国际消除贫困年”,这对世界上最贫困的大陆——非洲来说无疑是个好消息。目前,在全世界48个最不发达国家中,非洲占33个,达三分之二;非洲有3亿多人过着“绝对贫困”的生活,约占该大陆总人口的一半,约占全世界13亿贫困人口的25％;非洲也是一个“难民大陆”,全地区难民人数高达1180万,占全世界难民总数的65％,在各大洲中名列榜首,在仅有700万人口的卢旺达,竟有200多万人流落到扎伊尔等邻国。近两年来,非洲各国死于战乱、饥荒和疫病的人口高达数百万。在卢旺达,短短一年多的部族冲突就造成上百万人死于非命。 非洲之所以成为我们这颗星球上面积最大、状况最悲惨的贫困区,

In the past two years, millions of African countries have died of war, famine and epidemics. In Rwanda, just over a year of tribal clashes killed millions of people.
