A massive famine, triggered by the region’s worst drought in eleven or possibly as many as forty years and exacerbated in its severity by grain shortages resulting from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, is now engulfing the Horn of Africa -- Ethiopia, Somalia, southern Sudan and South Sudan, and northern Kenya. As many as 11 million (mostly poor) inhabitants are at risk of starving unless donors manage to provide cash to purchase food for the millions who are in need or can deliver relief supplies. So far, this humanitarian tragedy has drawn limited global attention. The caring nations of the West must rapidly ramp up their assistance to those near to death’s door.
First rate of course.....this is a desperately important issue, and there is no one better equipped to examine all its implications !!
