Africa pwns RP on MDGs

Some African nations have overtaken the Philippines in the race to the Millennium Development Goals. You know, stuff like lowering maternal deaths and fighting AIDS so we won’t be so mired in poverty.

According to the MDG Report Card, the top 20 countries that have made the most overall progress on the MDGs are: Benin, Mali, Ethiopia, Gambia, Malawi, Vietnam, Uganda, Nepal, India, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Honduras, Mauritania, Ghana, China, Burkina Faso, Rwanda, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Togo.

Rwanda, man! Unless we had a systematic culling of our population based on ethnicity last night, I don’t think we have any excuse.
