About blog-post "10 poorest countries"

I want to point out, how disingenuous this list is.

On this graph I've putted health and income in these countries and China in times of Mao for comparison.

Author putted such disastrous sub-Saharan states like Congo Democratic Republic, Liberia or Zimbabwe with quite successful like Ethiopia or Comoros and strangely Solomon Island, which are richer and almost as healthy as Bangladesh.

Difference between Comoros and Niger is relatively like difference between USA and Brazil.

List according to IMF shoul be:
  • Malawi,
  • Togo,
  • Sierra Leone,
  • Central African republic,
  • Niger,
  • Eritrea,
  • Liberia,
  • Burundi,
  • Zimbabwe,
  • and Democratic Republic of Congo.
