To pee outdoor it is a common fact in most countries in Africa like Senegal, Cote d’ivoire and Congo Brazzaville …
People who are more reach by this phenomenon it is the men and most of them are comfortable shooting out in open air even in Brazzaville's Downtown, it isn't hygienic though, but this fact is increasing more and more everywhere in Congo Brazzaville and all around in Africa.

To reduce or stop this practice are putting some signs all over the city warning people not to urinate in public, some signs are often very strict in their warnings like : "YOU PISS WILL HIT YOU" but beside warnings all people don't really mind about and keep doing their habit.

The lack of public toilets that le maim point of this phenomenon public toilets are not very common in most cities in Africa or very expensive

The danger of keep urinating out in open air is that later people can be sick specially children who are used to playing on the floor. Once in contact with the sand all this batteries (Virus) are transported by the rain and after being in contact with the sand kids can be strike by severe illness like diarrhoea that is biggest killer of children in Africa

Globalisation in Congo Brazzaville and Dakar

2008-05-12T04:07:00.000-07:00

Globalisation has had huge effects on many areas including the technology field.
In my view the biggest was in the technical and science field.

Over the last past years in Brazzaville and Dakar most companies found in the country were national companies and it was hard to find many people from other countries come and work but now the effects of globalisation is visible.

You can find many western technologies companies in Senegal and some Countries in Africa like Congo. People are trying to come from all over Africa for finding out. The population is increasing and the opportunity of finding job is increasing too, but it still keep the same condition of life in some places.

in the other hand many people from Congo are leaving the country for studying technology and trying to find jobs.Technology skills is on request in many western countries like USA, Canada, France, UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand as result there are shortages of skills in Africa

Beside all kind of western technology company in Africa people are still struggling to improve their daily life in Africa
