Apparently peaceful looking Mali took me aback . I was just browsing Mali news and the conflict undergoing in northern Mali  grabbed my attention and saddened me. Politics is at it’s place, ok, that’s not our cup of tea, but the thing which makes me most concerned  is the health implication stemming from instability and fighting in the region. Thousands of Malians have already migrated to the neighboring countries, REFUGEES. It is going to add further burden on struggling economies of neighboring countries. We best know Kenya’s condition due to sudden influx of millions of Somalians. Let’s talk about health implications: children become the very first victim, due to lack of food, are highly prone to malnutrition. Malaria, cholera and other infectious diseases in overall population. Off course, mental health issues, like depression resulting from losing whatever had and blink future.  Ultimately host country suffers too.
