First, government officials have large amounts of money but hoard it, thanks to the oil industry. Also, oil contracts are given to companies with connections in the government. Ordinary citizens have a slim chance of getting a contract if they do not have a high position in the administration. The intended audience is misinformed individuals who do not believe there are rich officials hoarding supplies from poor citizens.]]> 2017-11-07 02:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20hlarson77060/2xd9ruz9ggwu/wish/204190301 20hlarson77060 https://padlet.com/20hlarson77060/2xd9ruz9ggwu/wish/204191275 This article reveals the effect of malnutrition on the health of children.
