Zambia's splendor is the first developing country in Central Africa, but the proportion of people living with AIDS is as high as 17
When Zambia is mentioned, visitors think of Victoria Falls and the "Devil's Pool", which is more than 100 feet in the air. Zambia was the first major developing country in the heart of Africa to be recognized by the United Nations, and its national income reached more than $1,000 in 2008.
Zambia is one of the most developed regions in Africa, the sub-Saharan region is also relatively high in the level of urbanization, with many water systems, the fourth in Africa Zambezi River traverses from west to south, and the north is more than 800 kilometers of the Luangwa River, the famous Congo River water originates in Zambia.
Zambia's 750,000 square kilometres of land is divided into five regions, the Great Rift Valley to the east, the Katanga Plateau to the north, the Kalahari Basin to the south, the mountains to the south, and Lusaka, which is home to a quarter of the population.
Throughout Zambia's history, there have been only two major ethnic integrations: the great migration of the Bantu in the 15th century, and the Portuguese and British colonies, which brought in large numbers of slaves from different parts of the world. Similarly, two major migration events have had a dramatic impact on the ethnic makeup of Zambia.
In Africa, the peaceful reunification of multiple ethnicities has always been a major issue, for which numerous wars have erupted, especially in Zambia, which did not become the Republic of Zambia until the collapse of the Central African Union. It should be noted that at that time, all three neighbors were still under the control of whites.
Zambia was the first country to be governed by black people, and was bound to face retaliation from its neighbors, for which the country was forced to seal its borders for five years. Since China has built a new path to the world, the relationship between the two countries has become even stronger.
The Tanzania-Zambia Railway can be considered the "lifeline" of Zambia. In the north of Zambia, there is one of the world's largest copper deposits, and this railway can transport large quantities of copper ore to other countries. That is why Zambia has been the first country in Central Africa to establish itself.
But Zambia did not survive the world economic crisis of the late twentieth century, and then competed with South American mining companies such as Chile and Argentina, and after the setback of its export industry, 60 percent of its 18 million people depended on foreign support, and it was not until copper prices began to rise that the country's economy began to flourish.
Until 2014, Zambia was still included in the list of least developed countries, however, in the 2014 Human Development Indicators, Zambia has been assessed by the United Nations to be among the "middle" class, excluding the disparity between rich and poor and the bias in industry and education, Zambia has truly become a developing country.
Zambia has abundant freshwater, mineral and agricultural resources compared to the rest of Africa, but it has one of the world's largest wealth disparities, with 64 per cent of people living on less than $1 a day and 46 per cent living in extreme hunger. In its report, the World Bank describes Zambia as being full of slums, with the exception of a few towns.
Poverty disparities have also contributed to poor health care in Zambia, and to this day, WHO continues to suffer from malaria and AIDS in Zambia, where no other country has more than 50,000 deaths a year and 17% of people aged 15-49 with HIV and HIV.
However, Zambia's natural beauty industry is still popular with both domestic and foreign tourists, with the most famous tourist destinations being Lake Kariba, Victoria Falls, where you can hear the sound of running water 10 kilometers away, and Livingston, which is known as the most beautiful city in Africa.
