in qatar over the last 10 years most of them from south asia but the death toll could be higher reports from the philippines in kenya included in the guardian's report. officials claim there were only a handful of deaths are world cup construction sites which include stadiums and airport roads and public transportation projects there are around $2000000.00 foreign workers in qatar most of them come from south asian countries but some hail from african nations like kenya human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized the working conditions and despite new laws and they say that the conditions are still poor. now this next story takes us to mozambique the country has become an el dorado of sorts for oil companies after enough natural gas was discovered offshore to reshape the industry billions of foreign investment is flowing into the country but it's been of little benefit for mozambique citizens nearly 670000 people have been displaced by an extremist insurgency there is
