Hungry Somali families face agonizing choice: which child to feed
Quote:
 
Somali mothers are facing an agonizing choice over how to divide their shrinking food supply among hungry children as a devastating drought kills off livestock and leaves the Horn of Africa nation facing the possibility of famine.

"If there's a very small amount of food, we give it to those who need it the most - the youngest," said Fatuma Abdille, who arrived in the capital of Mogadishu two weeks ago with her seven children after the family's herd of goats perished from hunger.

The drought has shriveled grass and dried up water holes. In Bay, a key agricultural region, the United Nations says the harvest has dropped by more than 40 percent.

Here's an idea; don't have children you can't feed.
Things have gotten so bad in Somalia they have begun to call school buses, "Meals on Wheels"............ :oyvey

The Corruption of almost every government in every country in Africa is to blame..

Not our problem... We have given Trillions over the years to fight these problems...

Feed Americans first... Let the 3rd world get whats left

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls.

Nearly 1.4 million children are at "imminent risk" of death in famines in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen, the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said on Tuesday.

People are already starving to death in all four countries, and the World Food Programme says more than 20 million lives are at risk in the next six months.

Millions of Nigerians face hunger in wasteland recaptured from fighters
Quote:
 
When he heard that the Nigerian army had declared his family's home town of Banki free from Boko Haram militants and safe to return, Bukar Abdulkadir did all he could to bring his family back to the place they had fled three years ago.

It took nine months of hunger, selling most of the food rations they received at their refugee camp in Cameroon, to save up for the cost of a two-day journey in a lorry container back across the border into northern Nigeria.

But instead of returning to till the familiar fields of home, they came back to a desolate wasteland littered with the rubble of destroyed buildings and burnt cars, where they were herded into a crowded camp by soldiers.

The once thriving town, which the army retook in September 2015, has been razed to the ground. Along with some 32,000 other homeless inhabitants, Abdulkadir's family are now confined to the camp amid the ruins, guarded by troops who do not let them out unescorted, officially to protect them from explosives strewn across farmland.

you may still pretend you care of Syrians being "gassed" by Assad :)
besides, if you don't, the only ones the West will still be caring for will be just some suppressed gays in some Chechnya or Russian children deprived of gay propaganda... :lol:

My point is that we talk a lot about "helping" famine victims, but when push comes to shove the amount of "help" given is usually significantly less than the need.

War forces two million South Sudanese children to flee homes
Quote:
 
War and famine have forced more than 2 million children in South Sudan to flee their homes, the United Nations said on Monday, as 21 people died in the latest attack on civilians by unknown gunmen.

The civil war in the oil-producing country began when President Salva Kiir fired his deputy in 2013, two years after the country won independence from neighboring Sudan.

The Hunger Games: How Modern Imperialism Creates Famine Around the World
Quote:
 
Countries like Yemen, Chad and South Sudan have been devastated by famine and starvation in recent years, with millions of people suffering despite a global surplus of food. But the problem is not a lack of resources - they are starving due to the effects of unending Western imperialism.

Stop breeding. No anount of help will work. The West can hold 50 live aid concerts and still won't do any good.
