Why are some countries poor?

Well, for example Bolivia could produce enough food to feed itself many times over .......

BUT it is not allowed to export bananas to Europe for example.

Why not? Any one know or can guess why?

Having been in countries were unicef is supposidly "helping people".....they provide short term hand outs, and then do thier good work of cutting off children to help by promoting family reunification and trying to get kids out of orphanages that can meet their needs and put them back in thier families...who many...cannot afford to have them back and the one time hand out from unicef helps for a bit...untill it runs out and thos kids are either back in orphanges or worse yet, on the street on thier own. I would rather my money go to organizations that actually try and feed people insted of spending doners money on gather statistics and shutting down people who have taken children in who CAN afford to take care them....I beleive in a hand -up....help people help themelves, rather then a hand out model.

It is nice of you to notice one of the over 20 countries that the Western powers (USA, UK, Japan, the rest of Europe and others...) have sunk into an unforgettable misery. They owe (and always will) nearly a billion dollars (and increasing). They will be exploited until the US economy cannot hold any more, and then we'll see what happens.
