Darfur. For the last six years, there has been a racially motivated genocide occurring in this western region of Sudan. 400,000 people have been murdered, and 2.5 million others have been forced to flee their homes. There is a humanitarian crisis regarding these refugees, and the United Nations has been unable to help to the extent needed.
The government of Sudan is enabling and supporting this genocide, and other countries (with ties to the Sudaneese leadership) have blocked attempts to bring peace and justice to Darfur. If this conflict is not stopped, hundreds of thousands more people could die.

Swaziland. It is a landlocked country in southern Africa. They have been under a state of emergency since 1973. They have the highest percentage in the world of people with HIV/AIDS. In Swaziland, the people have no say in governmental decisions. Less than 60% of people that live in Swaziland are employed. The most astounding fact is that they have the lowest life expectancy in the world: 32.23
