I always don't understand why people use drugs that take away their lives and bring so much suffering. Why can't people focus on more interesting things in their lives and take on their responsibilities? I guess that I can never figure it out.

Mexico is a promising emerging market. But drugs an violence bring so much uncertainty to the country.

West Africa has great agriculture resources (60% of the total revenue), oil and other natural resources. The land degradation will hamper the sustainable growth.
West Africa is a region with great resources but there are many bad governments that damage their economy.
