In the roundabout of data, the result of the crossroad between poverty and births appears: 14% of children born in Niger will not see the world as adults. Percentage figures are not always convincing. Let’s shift the focus to absolute figures. 14 out of every 100 children born in Niger will die of sheer hunger. They will be victims of an unconvicted crime. But perhaps I exaggerate, affected by the midday sun and the incomprehension of the distance between different parts of the world. Maybe I do exaggerate, and I see two images on top of each other: a hundred children on a dirt road surrounding the visitors. Above that is another. The quiet restlessness of children and their mothers in a park near the river Barba\u00f1a, in Ourense. The two images are the same. But who now decides which of the 14 children in the park will evaporate because of the cruelty of reality?
