According to reports Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be forced to return home for the birth of their baby due to the health of their little girl Zahara.

The couple and their two adopted children Maddox and Zahara are currently in Namibia where Jolie is promoting a new campaign, the Global Campaign for Education that aims to meet the Millennium Development Goal of getting every child into school by 2015.

However, the couple are concerned that Zahara may suffer from a recurrence of rickets that was caused by malnutrition in an Ethiopian orphanage.

Pitt has flown back to LA to discuss her condition with a top doctor; the doctor has revealed that Zahara’s battered immune system may not be able to handle more tropical diseases like yellow fever that can be contracted in Namibia.

A source told the Daily Star: “Angie wanted to have her child in Africa but Brad has had doubts all along and there’s a delivery room in Cedars-Sinai.

“When he mentioned Zahara had a cold he was shocked to be told that in Namibia she was more susceptible to diseases and yellow fever as her immune would have been weakened by the rickets.

“A private flight was booked for Brad to have a consultation and he told Angie he is sick of worrying about them all.

“He wants them to be perfectly safe and for his first biological baby to be born in the safety of LA’s top hospital.”

Poor little Zahara…hopefully she will get well soon and won’t be too overshadowed by the new baby.

Actress Angelina Jolie confessed that, when she brought her 6-month old daughter Zahara from Ethiopia, the little girl was suspected of being infected with Aids.

When Jolie first arrived in US with Zahara, she went straight to the hospital. The baby was hospitalized one week at the New York's Presbyterian Hospital, for salmonella intestinal infection as well as dehydration and malnutrition, conditions which would have led to her death in her African homeland.

Dr Jane Aronson, an expert in healthcare for infants adopted overseas, declared at that time that the actress saved her daughter's life and affirms that it is certain the baby would have died in the Ethiopian orphanage.

Poor little girl--Jolie takes her out of Africa where she was in such poor health and then takes her back to the seen of the crime--albeit a little further south and west.

Angelina naively thinks it is the lack of education that is the problem in Africa. It is the corrupt and oppressive governments that Andelina buddies up to that is the leading cause of continued poverty and diseases in Africa. You could be the brightest rocket scientist in the world and have no chance in those countries.

There is a connection, though between corruption and not enough education.

However, a much stronger connection exists corruption and an insufficient Christian ethic in a nation.

Under an oppressive and corrupt government, all the education in the world is not going to make a bit of difference. People need freedom and capitolism to thrive. Education does make a difference, but only where people have some freedom and economic opportunity.

The world peace people are at it again...

The Africans already know how to have babies outside of wedlock-- what else is Jolie there to teach them?

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

So that's why she feels so respected in Nambia...

As long as she never comes back, I'm all for it. The useless, Jew-hating Ann Curry can stay there too.

[ValerieUSA]

She's on an education crusade? Just how much education does Jolie have? Why doesn't she respect the higher education of American doctors who tell her not to expose her fragile daughter to the potential of third world diseases? She needs to educate herself before educating all of the world's children.
Brad Pitt may have to have her declared an unfit mother and take all the kids away to be raised in the USA.

"Their kid has a weak immune system and they're taking her to a third world country?? Those carnies are insane!"

LOL, "carnies."

And the child is just a baby in the first place. And she's been dragged, nonstop, all over creation. And apparently, son Maddox has only had only one play-date since Mrs. Carny got pregnant. The boy's going to be one anti-social headcase.

Looks like Brad is trying to use Zahara's cold as his ace in the hole at the eleventh hour, when all else has failed in his ability to wear the (clown) pants in that carny family.
