International Organizations are not cheating on us, but they are telling the truth that we DEVELOPING.We are developing on our level of development, how do you wish them telling us the truth while even our governments don't talk the truth and reality of the situations? You may find a very noted democratic government fulling its own people on growth of academic standards while without considering kind of education they have delivered. You find countries are surrounded by a lot of fresh water sources, but its people are lacking drinking water even FIVE KILOMETERS FROM THE SOURCE. So should we blame Europeans on this?
