they say geo politics is a lot like a schoolyard and while obama snubbing a meeting with the president of russia to in theory punish him for the stone incident sounds kind of amateur that is the kind of stuff the girl you did when you're sixteen would do cancel date just to show you how much your feelings are hurt let's not mistake this cancelled meeting with cutting off diplomatic relations which is the total rejection of any form of discussion with another country which really isn't a bold and possibly dangerous political message but obama did was more like a minor annoyance he knows that he will talk to putin again in the near future i mean how are they not going to talk in the next g. eight summit what is he just going to have to hide behind merkel the whole time and hope it works out or ducked behind the shrimp cocktail whatever here's a russian accent one could argue that to appease republicans he had to do something to look strong at the student but this grandstanding just comes across as silly passing something like a new jackson verda commandment yeah that is how you could shows people that you're really mad even if your anger is irrational because stone pretty much did the right

thing but that's just my opinion. lazy i'm going to know the job. so that i could money to buy seeds. dies or to manage the money i have for seeds and you can spend it for books you may . be open in school uniform my kids need for school. sick i'm going to be. so i have no money left to seat on the day no matter how cheap i might be. demoted you know too much money to. run. a lot of community has a bore hole that isn't easily accessible by all. the damn dries out during the

dry season and there isn't enough water for the animals. that. doesn't do anything about our situation when that's done and i mean i could have provided the community with enough water. no i mean they refuse to do anything like that for us. almost every government comes and so we are. watching our courts and by the to get. the form of that attorney who we need to support most in most cases deal who commanded big. bum would go too far for me if i was. if. you.

let her down. live. this is now what this device was this in this to her somehow we have to look at the sleeplessness that somebody had to live after i mean the only senator democrat this is how i looked up was this. slim in almost every woman but. this is this it was worthwhile it did come to light it's dumb but is that is because we would markets is good when you do this and what's

a democrat. to sell it and the profits to come back to that have to feed lots of it and then we don't have good markets. we apprehended the government to stop imports and advice from from abroad when to stop and. well as knowledge or putting it in that would be like it's right. but. according to. regulations we come overstretched the import of certain items in the country but even that the regulation that we could do restricts the in petition all these are goose foremost concert competitively the one of the area we don't want to access is also that because the government is not subsidizing our farmers produced at the higher costs. so they

cannot compete would be important who don't know what caused indy also contras so competition will be on the cuomo front the former eventually the government supported him to come also compete favorably with imported watch. it and. let us know we had it with the markets and because governments came out with need just in program they came from us to just deal with that to schools and then distance why do you think that the government took your program we don't know is because of their distant look up assessing the i would love this do a not much in the year and then dubreuil one so that it will broil you nicely and

then that process and today is different for a watch. saw demi lindy a is not see saw in the eyes that will get that would markets pulled in big government liberal by during summer they gave us and it is does the same as what's in the media. and this is the medieval who should i want to fund that only gets the money rather than to produce do what i want to import what it is cheaper so to tony from the end of the type of regulations on the deal due to it's actually impacted negatively on my view of courtship in the developing countries stricken in the included.

thank you. but. right this is left tenant jerry join rowlings who had just overthrown his government. a government he had appointed a few years back after a coup d'etat. i. the poor economy was again one of the reasons for the coup. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three j.j.

rawlings asked for help from the i.m.f. which returned to ghana after eleven years of absence and has remained until today . in the following decades the economy thrived the annual average growth rate lies at five percent unemployment has declined and so has poverty which reached fifty one percent in one thousand nine hundred two dropping to twenty nine percent in two thousand and six. the good news does not stop there. it's. quite how much. we look at the four year old. the second opportunity being given to this congress. goes back in ninety two thousand and seven that news reports show that gone it made

a world class oil discovery the true scope of the size of the field wasn't exactly known on but it was clear from that moment on that gonna assume to join the ranks of africa's oil producers. dependence overall much here also depends on not chary softness i'll bet c. does not bring i want to talk formation of economies in spite of the huge glories of the new hot with not being able to walk again the levels so he can only transformation now we we so much on. there's no point to having if you're every getting a cut of education they don't want to have an oil you forget he can go to hospitals and get good health care there's no point in having oil if that young why this going to be dying in large numbers from. trying to have children.

born abroad. gifty is twenty six years old she is one of two nurses working in this clinic. a doctor rarely comes here and gifty tries to do whatever she can with what she knows. we are covering a population of two thousand one hundred and eleven point seven communities that is

why that's our catchment. we have one doctor who said the district hospital if it is coming to a level we don't have so the one in new we said that subject. and we don't have. mr yakubu who is the government appointed district health director he is informed about the problems he let me just douglas of it to tell you that we have a doctor population issue we have one book that over one hundred sixty one thousand population right one doctor ticket or one n one and says the one thousand people obviously is not a base i mentioned that for doctors limit also mentioned for less it's also interested to know that we have a bit less population of one those two. thousand five hundred population

i mean again that's a yawn and obvious no we want one there's still is going to get of more than two thousand five hundred published this new week adequate a little. so gifty travels every day from village to village to visit patients and heavily pregnant women who do not have the means to come to the clinic here we have more. so we used a model but just was some time when dia down then we cannot wouldn't want is a commie and these people realize that most people did live at home. some of the communities once they did a boss or did mama drug leaves it dis i'm going to sixty the market be for them to get another car coming to do so initially how in a difficult labor give up these i love it time you have to put them on bicycles

will have very high. in this region. and. for two weeks into the this year. ninety. three. now i know that elsewhere one might turn out there is a crisis. but one region for two weeks into a year recorded. that is definitely possible. you. probably didn't want.

to me i tell you this money dish you invest much on the whole site because if you are not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if our taste is down today we are fully one so even though one is down damn is declares that we did that peter will get that save his own lives with four data base and i doubt something you can just attain to down without taken down by the us and. my god. the builder is spotty and the building keep on coming down it's only because of the really. see what he says and who cut and that is in. the heat is

always too much sure but we can do otherwise or they brought us here to day. from the government. all us for possible what. more for we did this is only better for the community because they knew about coming to buy as drinking from a distant world. but of all what. can we do more stuff so that they can improve their health status of people. in. this growth reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern gala.

the district director says that the government is doing its best and gives the free mosquito net program as an example something he recently set up the government of one affidavit the ghana has of his how do we get a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know standpoints daily allies that we need to actually fight the victim the better be in the mosque to the north of us to do i saw recently and five just as recent as two we said will the government of ghana but i want to get a house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given you know this hand and yes even places recruiter volunteers who went into every house and there would to how much and would loose and what rules because there were instances where let me just go to the well we don't have a meal to meal and my husband it and just drew not that they were refused and he

just refined and live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus at support from out a pattern is to provide not only to bed but also believes and they do is what is so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then hummus they provide hummus and then recruited their volunteers and paid them a lower sr who are around near the bed nets in the pits sleeping places or people. the district health director blames foreigners for the health systems poor condition. he claims that the fault lies with immigrants who have no papers and enter northern ghana from neighboring countries i love people who are in year i miss sharing the little things that we have you know i yet we are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i feel in the numbers does that raise and that's how come you realize that our budgets that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wildly different are for sure

because they don't anticipate and if i do don't know do you numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak in in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national sword that also is a problem. in two thousand and eleven ghana's economy growth rate reached fourteen point four percent. using the profits from gold oil as its driving force ghana became at least on paper a middle income country. and is the ninth country in africa to reach this position. the

i.m.f. policies and the government's reform certainly played their own part in reaching this level. we have a growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however as the economy grew so did social disparities. the benefits of growth have not been felt by the majority of the population who are left to struggle daily for survival

. at the same time they are required to repay the success of loans that the government received from the i.m.f. . prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhood. fences and barbed wire. according to a two thousand and twelve gallup poll fifty three percent of ghana or about twelve point seven million people cannot afford the cost of food only four percent. able to live on their income. it's it's clear that you know economic growth does not necessarily translate into poverty reduction and to reduce poverty we need to have. the authorities he's asking for a structure education because the same time the i.m.f.

is telling the government that actually you have to expenditure which includes pay for public sector because. right now when you talk about the public sector. today very poor communities. when the government is spending too much it is crowding out the private sector taking away from detector skilled people who prefer to work for the government or another private sector but also the spending and the boring of the government crowding out capital that could be directed to the private sector so the reform would not happen overnight it's a long term process and probably true you know not hiring new. seven when people retire did you kind of things it's not like you need to get. the workforce into public sector immediately.

two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets on the money. which is. same thing has happened since. this is so in other words you need this town of the i.m.f. to be. able to international marketplace even if it kills your own people. and already the betting is on the poor is not on the rich and they will be more and more and they have even less of a basis to stand up on their own find employment survive on their own because of the global rhythms that we've got backing them. will release a report which says that economic reforms new labor are forms in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms in the global crisis two thousand and

five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the what i mean taking place in africa ok we have patients which are being privatized speak. people are looking at the example of what happened in greece and what you know we have we have all those things those elements which we even intensify the process of. the process of shock. vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists a way to meet any group we. we had and when we don't go we had to. because still in our communities women are going hungry in the lead season women lost in east and when it gets really bad they meet once every day once every two days so that the children can eat and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income on the inside is any child in ghana going to bed hungry. that

should be. these any women dying in childbirth. that should be an indicator of how women able to access the health services the education services the credit facilities. markets that she be the real indicator of what goofy it's.
