The stark reality of starvation in a modern world
Despite technological advancements and global food production, starvation remains a pressing issue for millions worldwide. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) continues to claim lives, with the most vulnerable often living in areas where poverty, conflict, and environmental challenges intersect. CEOWORLD Magazine reveals that In Angola, PEM takes a devastating toll, with 101.32 deaths per 100,000 people—the highest rate globally. The scars of past conflicts have crippled the country’s agricultural potential. Bombings and heavy mining have left vast swathes of farmland unusable, exacerbating food insecurity and limiting recovery efforts.

Papua new Guinea: The world's language capital
When considering the countries with the most languages, it’s natural to assume linguistic giants like China or India would lead the way. However, the unexpected champion is Papua New Guinea, a small island nation in the Pacific. According to the World Atlas, despite just 8.8 million people, Papua New Guinea is home to 840 languages. That’s nearly 12% of all the world’s languages spoken in an area roughly the size of California. This incredible linguistic diversity stems from Papua New Guinea’s unique geography and social structure. The country’s rugged mountains, dense forests, and isolated valleys have acted as natural barriers, keeping communities separated for centuries.
