Explanation of replacing Black with an alternate geographic adjective. Arabs historically used descriptors such as black for pigmentation, and not racial classification. As such, many of the unmixed populations would easily be confused here.

[edit] life expectancy

The life expectancy is given as 62, yet only 2.7% made it to 65? Is this because of rapidly improving conditions? Somalia has a greater percentage over 65 but the life expectancy is 48. Potatoswatter 03:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
