Hehe! Amazing buro, I also used to hear what you used to, Nepal being second only to Ethiopia those days. Later, Mozambique became the poorest, then Somalia.

I found out now that the present 10 poorest countries are all African.

1) Sierra Leone

2) Tanzania

3) Burundi

4) Malawi

5) Ethiopia

6) Niger

7) Guinea-Bissau

8) Dem. Rep. of Congo

9) Mali

10) Congo
