H\u00e4r <\/a>hittade jag i alla fall ett slags resebrev fr\u00e5n n\u00e5gra m\u00e4n som \u00e4r med i den ekumeniska kommuniteten i Taiz\u00e9 och bor i Senegal. D\u00e4rifr\u00e5n har de rest f\u00f6r att tr\u00e4ffa unga kristna i Gambia vid ett par tillf\u00e4llen. Det h\u00e4r resebrevet \u00e4r ungef\u00e4r tio \u00e5r gammalt, men mycket av inneh\u00e5llet skulle nog kunna st\u00e4mma nu ocks\u00e5. Inte minst det faktum att de omr\u00e5den dit alla turister kommer \u00e4r fina, i stort sett, men att m\u00e4nniskor som bor i andra delar av landet \u00e4nd\u00e5 tillh\u00f6r Afrikas fattigaste …<\/p>\nN\u00e5gra fakta fr\u00e5n Nationalencyklopedin:<\/p>\n

F\u00f6rra \u00e5ret bodde\u00a0tre femtedelar\u00a0av befolkningen i st\u00e4der.<\/p>\n
I genomsnitt g\u00e5r det\u00a0159 inv\u00e5nare p\u00e5 varje kvadratkilometer. F\u00f6rra \u00e5ret uppskattades f\u00f6delse- och d\u00f6dstalen till 39 respektive 9 \u2030, och det ger en naturlig befolknings\u00f6kning p\u00e5 3 % per \u00e5r. Sp\u00e4dbarnsd\u00f6dligheten var 68 per 1 000 levande f\u00f6dda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
