July 5 is Independence Day in the great nation of Venezuela. Child malnutrition in Venezuela (defined as stunting or wasting in children under age five) stands at 17 per cent. According to the United Nations, 32 per cent of Venezuelans lack adequate sanitation, and 17 per cent of Venezuelans lack access to potable water, which helps explain the presence of typhoid, yellow fever, cholera and hepatitis.
Please stand for the Venezuelan national anthem.
It is also Independence Day for Algeria. According to the UN, Algeria has one of the world's highest per housing unit occupancy rates. This, combined with a lack of inexpensive deodorant, may explain why more than 160,000 people were killed between 1992 and June 2002 in the Algerian Civil War.
During the conflict, the Armed Islamist Group conducted a violent campaign of civilian massacres, sometimes wiping out entire villages in its area of operation. Please rise for the Algerian national anthem.
Well, that clears that up
