Please forgive us. U.S. pleads with Islamic nations.

Even with tears over the killing of the U.S ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens and 3 others, the United States of America has apologized to the whole world, particularly to Countries ruled by Muslims over the anti-Islamic film released by an American video film, which assaulted Prophet Mohammed.

Already, the crisis has spread to Yemen and some few Muslim ruling nations, including Nigeria. Muslims in the City of Jos have been protesting over the anti-Islam film released online. They have embarked on burning American flags even as soldiers are working towards putting them off the streets.

Speaking through its Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Obama had described the video as repulsive and disgraceful, adding that the purpose was to condemn religion and to provoke violence.

Clinton, who spoke while attending a meeting in Washington D.C. with Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister yesterday, pleaded with all Islamic nations to pardon the Americans for such blunder.

According to her “We are closely watching what is happening in Yemen and elsewhere, and we certainly hope and expect that there will be steps taken to avoid violence and prevent the escalation of protests into violence.

“I also want to take a moment to address the video circulating on the internet that has led to these protests in a number of countries. Let me state very clearly – and I hope it is obvious – that the United States Government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. And as you know, we are home to people of all religions, many of whom came to this country seeking the right to exercise their own religion, including, of course, millions of Muslims. And we have the greatest respect for people of faith.

“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose: to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage. But as I said yesterday, there is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence. We condemn the violence that has resulted in the strongest terms, and we greatly appreciate that many Muslims in the United States and around the world have spoken out on this issue.

“Violence, we believe, has no place in religion and is no way to honor religion. Islam, like other religions, respects the fundamental dignity of human beings, and it is a violation of that fundamental dignity to wage attacks on innocents. As long as there are those who are willing to shed blood and take innocent life in the name of religion, the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace. It is especially wrong for violence to be directed against diplomatic missions. These are places whose very purpose is peaceful: to promote better understanding across countries and cultures. All governments have a responsibility to protect those spaces and people, because to attack an embassy is to attack the idea that we can work together to build understanding and a better future.

“Now, I know it is hard for some people to understand why the United States cannot or does not just prevent these kinds of reprehensible videos from ever seeing the light of day. Now, I would note that in today’s world with today’s technologies, that is impossible. However, even if it were possible, our country does have a long tradition of free expression, which is enshrined in our Constitution and our law, and we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be.

Top 9 saddest countries in the world

These are countries that have made it to the bottom rung of the happiness ladder. Many factors such as life expectancy, GDP, local purchasing power and basic amenities were considered. The conditions in these countries aren't exactly inspiring and one can only hope things get better for the people living there.

9. Lying ninth place to the last is Sudan. With serious political upheaval that has led to what seems like an unending civil war, life in Sudan could be compared to hell on earth. There is vast unemployment, a terrible case of lawlessness, wide-spread poverty, and hunger. It could be said that happiness in Sudan has fled as it almost strikes us as the devil's backyard.

8. On the eighth position is Yemen. This far east country is an epitome of civil unrest and religious extremism.  There are few or non-existent liberties. Education for girls is almost zero and there is only a third report of any form of employment. Yemen isn't hell but it must have a branch of hell in it.

7. Pakistan occupies the seventh place. With an ineffective and a very unstable government, surviving in Pakistan has all the odds stacked against it. There is a very high level of insecurity and the locals are known to be very intolerant of outsiders. We think although the devil doesn't live in this country, there must be some ''HELLBURGER'' outlet somewhere in the country.

6.Let's all give it up for Ethiopia. Although we don't see why Ethiopia should occupy this unenviable position, several goings-on in the country point to why this is so. Literacy is just 30%, undernourishment is 40% and the unemployment rate is 20%. With little resources to go around, there is a grim, sombre atmosphere. You might want to watch your mien and the way you laugh/smile when you travel to Ad-dis-ababa, the locals might mistake you for a loony for laughing.

5. How about a round of applause for Zimbabwe. We love this country but can't understand what in hell is going on. There is absurd, rotten kleptocracy and absolute lack of civil rights. Political violence is commonplace while the literacy level is abysmal. The life expectancy in Zimbabwe is absurd and there is total disillusionment and despair in town. The inflation rate is another source of concern. We still don't think the devil lives here but he sure doesn't live far from it.

4. Central African Republic. There is a looming, complete absence of hope in this hell-hole. More than 10% of children die in their first year. There is no foundation for future growth, only a few percentage have access to adequate sanitation facilities and many cannot afford food and shelter. The CAR could as well be another gate-way to hell. Does God hate the CAR so much? It's so disturbing how life is in this country. We are tempted to say poverty and depression were invented in the Central African Republic.

3. Well, if  the CAR is bad, then life in Chad is definitely worse. Home to the famous lake Chad, life should have ordinarily been not so bad in this small African nation but for drought and famine. The Chad lake has dried up and has taken the livelihood of most of the locals with it. The economy of this country has been destroyed and with the huge number of refugees streaming in from neighboring Dar-fur, no respite seems to be in sight.

2. Before our winner is the Democratic Republic of Congo. Years of civil war and genocide have torn this country apart. There are abundant cases of rape and statistics show that 48 women are raped every hour in the Congo, which makes it 1,152 women per day. The country can only boast of being richer than Zimbabwe which lies on the rock bottom of the GDP table. The irony of it all is that the DR C  has one of the largest and richest mineral deposits in Africa but because of the exploitation of the people and God knows what, the Congolese people are suffering so badly.

1. And the winner is Somalia. We almost couldn't call this place a country. No laws exist. Nothing works and there's absolutely no hope for a better future. Do people still live in Somalia? Somalia has gained international reputation recently as being the largest hub of pirate attacks on passing international vessels. The average life expectancy is 49 or perhaps less. There has been several attempts to build legitimate governments but these governments keep crumbling like a deck of cards, making way for economic instability and war.

With this list, there's only question that comes to mind: What's wrong Africa?
