Ermin Murati || Palestine and Israel || The government of Palestine/Israel is a Parliamentary Democracy, and a Republic government. In Israel, the Prime Minister Ariel Sharon built a barrier between Israeli lands and Palestinian lands, to prevent terrorists from entering Israeli cities, also the barrier was built to prevent infiltration by Palestinians for economic reasons. || Adriana Montoya || Egypt || The Egyptian Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohamed Nasreddin Allam said that Egypt and Sudan are in a serious disagreement with the other Nile Basin country. T he disagreement centers on a clause in the agreement stipulating that any projects in the Upper Nile region that could affect Egypt and Sudan's share of Nile water must be announced prior to implementation. || Harshang Sheth || Sydney, Australia ||  || Sarah Hernandez || Bangalore, India || India used to be under a social democratic government but lately it has moved towards a market- based system. The economy was based on protectionism, public ownership leading it to corruption and slow growth. Since 1991 it has been under liberalisation so therefore it has been moving towards a market based system. || Jackie Mazariego || Pakistan || Pakistan is not a democratic country, and one thing is, because it is based in Islamic country. Islam and democracy cannot go together, it is clear, in Islam two women witness equal to one man.International human rights groups say several hundred Pakistanis have gone missing, many apparently taken into detention in connection with the war on terrorism. Pakistan as a nation is a developing country and consequently facing a wide variety of ethnic conflicts. Anyone up to the age of 18 is a child and his basic right is to receive education and proper upbringing rather than use his hands to destroy his own bright future. According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics of Pakistan, 3.3 million out of 40 million children are working in various industries, although child labor is strictly prohibited by law. Child Labor is a serious social problem within Pakistan because the future and progress of any country depends on an educated and enlightened youth and if a child is not properly socialized then he/she will not be able to grow as confident and literate Pakistani citizens. || Thomas Osvath and Erik Guevara || Kazakhstan ||  || Wattanasupachoke || Philippines || Though the Philippine government mirrors the US government in some way (being they have three branches PLUS one), they have an underinvestment in the water problem to the people. It may be investing 97% of water budgets to the supply, but the water supplied is contaminated majorly and needs the money for the supply to be used to clear the disease out. || Abiola Adun || Kenya || Kenya is sovereign republic. At independence the government was around the U.S Presidency and British Legislature and other amendments were introduced to the structure and nature of the government. The Kenyan legal system consists of a mix of Kenya law and Kenyan and English common law, mixed with elements of tribal and Islamic law. Kenya's basic legal system and body of law is very similar to that found in western or European countries. This is mainly a result of Kenya being a part of the British Empire for many decades until 1963; Kenya is still a member of the British Commonwealth. ||
