Text: There is material in the big core
Edit|Big core has material
The name Kibera means forest in the Nubian language. But there is no greenery in Kibera, only gray people and garbage.
Here, people earn less than a dollar a day on average, and they can't afford to eat even a full meal in a day. Almost no one has serious jobs, and many have to pick up garbage for a living, except, of course, drug dealers and profiteers.
Teenagers here are fierce and aggressive, ganging up in the streets all day long, sharing bottles of liquid or a moist strip of cloth stained with liquid. This is their "food for thought".
In order to protect themselves in the chaos of the struggle, people do not even dare to travel casually, for fear of robbery and rape, and even dare not go out to the toilet. They drained the excrement into plastic bags and threw it out the window, inventing the "flying toilet".
This is the hell of human civilization. This is the huge slum located inside Kenya, the largest city in Africa.
City of Doom
Here, whether it is teenagers or middle-aged and elderly people, they are all lifeless, like "zombies". The teenagers, in particular, were either lying in the garbage heap with a blank face or mixed in with the queue.
Either way, they look blind, glazed-eyed, salivating at the corners of their mouths, and slurring their words, like demented zombies.
The originally energetic teenagers have become lifeless, on the one hand, because they have not eaten enough and worn warm all year round, and on the other hand, because of their "spiritual food" - glue and aerospace fuel!
Glue, an industrial product, contains a lot of toxic substances, after all, they are not for people to eat.
For example, the ethylene glycol in it, although it will not be fatal if drunk in small amounts in the short term, it will have serious irreversible effects on the liver and brain if consumed in the long term. And if you drink a lot of it, adults will die if they drink less than 100 ml!
But it also has the function of being addictive. It has a special aroma and sweetness, which can make people who drink it or smell it feel a momentary pleasure and even hallucinate.
By chance, a scrawny street child rummages through the garbage heap, hoping to dig up something to sell or eat.
Suddenly, he found a small, cloudy bottle of liquid. Curious, he opened the lid and sniffed it, and suddenly felt more comfortable than he had ever felt before, as if he had forgotten all sickness and hunger.
This is the glue that contains toxic addictive substances.
Later, the miraculous effect of this glue was passed on to the hundreds. People know about its special function: you don't feel hungry when you smell it!
A bottle of glue can cost a lot less than a meal. And the glue can smell countless times, and it will be gone after eating a meal. It is self-evident who people choose.
Among the glue-obsessed population, teenagers make up the majority. Because most teenagers can't find decent jobs like adults, and they don't realize that glue contains toxic substances, they can only get by, and be comfortable for a while.
Slowly, almost every teenager is trying to get glue. Some of them can't afford it, and they can't find it in the garbage heap, so they will form groups to raise money, and a dozen people will buy one, taking turns to "enjoy" its smell.
Some black-hearted businessmen saw an opportunity to peddle such glue in large quantities in their stores. Although a bottle of glue is less than a dollar, it is also a "salary" that a teenager can earn by digging through garbage for half a day.
In this slum, we often find a teenager or group of teenagers leaning their faces close to a small bottle of cloudy liquid with an intoxicated expression, revealing an obsessive and sluggish expression.
But the consequences of toxic substances are also clear. Addicted teenagers not only have no strength to do anything, they are frail and sickly, and some will become irritable and irritable, and often fight and cause trouble.
Sometimes if one of them doesn't deal with each other, they will fight hard, and it is common for them to injure or even maim each other. And even if you are injured, no one will take care of it, let alone treat it.
With the flood of glue, everyone feels a little tired of "sucking". They found another liquid that was as obsessive as glue – jet fuel.
It also contains addictive toxic substances, but it works better than glue, but at the same time it is more expensive. In addition to Kibera, there are many other places in the world where many people are addicted to jet fuel, and even some animals are not immune to this addiction.
Aviation fuel and glue can be called "invisible drugs"! But there are still countless people who flock to them, and even fight for them.
But in a slum, where to find jet fuel for airplanes? It's a lot harder to find than glue.
At this time, there are "drug dealers" who specialize in this kind of business. They would sneak into the airport when security was lax in the dark, steal some of the jet fuel, and sell it to these addicted teenagers.
A fuel dealer once said, "I have hundreds of regular customers, and most of them are teenagers. These (jet fuel) will be sold out in less than half a day. ”
They knew that teenagers couldn't afford to pay for it, so in addition to small bottles of fuel, they also developed products such as strips of cloth stained with fuel, which also smelled on them.
Teenagers who don't have money will buy it in groups, and adults who have money will buy a whole bottle. Of course, the "rich" of adults is only relative, and if they were really rich, they would not live here.
Some people even buy a whole bottle of fuel, mix it with a large bottle of wine, and then smow it in one gulp. He said that drinking such "wine" is bliss on earth.
Unlike glue, the business of jet fuel is larger and more extensive, and many adults are salivating over it. Seeing that there is a lot of profit, more and more gangsters are involved in this business.
The government has tried to regulate it, but to no avail. The police officers who were dispatched were all bribed by the gangster's money. And even if a ban is introduced, the gangsters will sell it correctly. After all, the gangsters themselves are not allowed by law, and they have long been not afraid of those decrees.
Sin and helplessness
In this cramped slum, at least half a million people live. But Kibera is less than three square kilometres. People can only live in dilapidated iron sheds, and the alleys that people can walk through are even narrower than a shoulder.
In fact, in the beginning, this area was for young people who came here to find jobs. Because Nairobi is the center of gravity of Kenya and is in urgent need of development, it has attracted a large number of young people to work here.
Unable to find a place to stay, the newcomers settled in Kibera, closer to the city.
But there are so many people who come that not everyone can find a job in the city. So this place went from a temporary place to a slum where many people had to live for the rest of their lives.
There are also people who want to move away, but where to move? Rent here is the cheapest, and it's hard to pay, let alone rent elsewhere.
As a result, more and more poor people gathered here, and Kibera went from an ordinary suburb to the second largest slum in the world.
The government also wanted to clean up the area and make it look neat and clean. In 2009, they launched a renovation program. They claim to give hundreds of thousands of people access to clean and tidy houses without charging more rent.
But not everyone is willing to relocate this place. Some people are xenophobic and even go to court because of this. And the number of new apartments is not very large, and there are several families living in the same room. In the long run, new apartments will also become new slums.
As a result, this slum has become what it is now known as the city of doom.
