If being born in Africa is unlucky, how about being born in the DRC?
Where one is born is a bit of a lottery, an accident of genetics, time and place. But it is generally true that to be born in Africa is, on average, to draw a very bad hand. Africa has the shortest life expectancy in the world, the highest number of running conflicts of any continent, the most backward social systems, the worst infrastructure and the most chaotic administrations anywhere on earth.
