Poverty in Sudan

When something is wrong, most people look for something or someone to blame. In Sudan, for example, most would point fingers at their religion or something along those lines. But the fact is that they are a poor country. Their government doesn't provide enough jobs and a citizen is either extravagantly rich or dirt poor. There is such a divide in their social and economical classes. Few are considered "middle class". This is absolutely no way a country should be living. Ideally, people's incomes and "classes" should fall along something that on a graph would resemble a bell curve. However, in places like Sudan, their graph looks more like a V-shaped graph. Good to be on the high end of things, but on the low end, you would live a life in a "hole" that would be very hard to dig yourself out of. In America, we pride ourselves on the idea that you can build a life for yourself all on your own, even if you are born into a life were you are provided with few opportunities. However, over there, you are born into the life in which you will live. It must be awful to live your whole life and learn, while growing up, the difficulty of you ever being able to build a comfortable life with a comfortable amount of money because of what family you were born into.
