Khartoum: this is the way the world ends

People can be so ignorant. The welsh man's comment at the hotel to Tony Horwitz is that of straight Ignorance. His comment on the beggars and how Mr. Horwitz should carry a blowtorch to keep them away is insulting. It is insulting because that is how the society there is and has been. Because the Welsh man feels so superior he can make those comments, that is wrong. Yes the the society there is struggling and the people need help. Making those comments upon the people are just wrong and ignorant. Those people are just trying to survive by any means necessary. They are trying to support their family on what little they have. These beggars are a representation of the society in that country. They show how the life is there and how they do in fact need help.
