According to a well-known African doctor, ‘If as many young men were dying each day, about 1 450 per day or 529 000 per year, from causes that were largely preventable, it would be a matter for the Security Council’. The risks involved, though, are far from equal.
‘Indien per dag net zo veel jonge mannen zouden sterven, ongeveer 1.450, oftewel 529.000 per jaar, ten gevolge van grotendeels te vermijden oorzaken, zou het in de Veiligheidsraad aan de orde worden gesteld,’ aldus een bekende Afrikaanse arts.
