38 million to starve in Africa

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

38 million to starve in Africa

[Note: Prior to the “Liberation” of Africa by Socialists, and prior to the shennanigans of Mugabe, the African Colonies not only fed themselves but exported food. Socialism is killing black Africans. People should see the comments of Dr Chris Jordaan on my guest book. I wonder how much of this really is drought, and how much is deliberate Government mismanagement and socialism kicking in? Well, if they are dying now, WAIT, the El Nino has been active this year, and meteorologists predict that next year, rain will be much lower… So the worst is yet to come…
Funny isn’t it? El Nino’s and much worse droughts weren’t a problem when white commercial farmers controlled the food production? We still managed to look after ourselves. Jan]

At least 38-million people in Africa are threatened by hunger, caused mostly by a drought that is extending from the Horn of Africa to the southern part of the continent, the World Food Programme (WFP) said on Tuesday.

WFP director James Morris told the UN Security Council in an open meeting that the lack of political will remains the only obstacle to help those in needs.

“This is an unprecedented crisis, which calls for an unprecedented response,” Morris said. “The magnitude of the disaster unfolding in Africa has not yet been fully grasped by the international community.”

“An exceptional effort is urgently needed if a major catastrophe is to be averted,” he said. “Business as usual will not do.”

Morris said the drought and other natural disasters are affecting other countries in the world, including Central America, Afghanistan and Cambodia.

WFP and other relief agencies have reported that more than 13-million people in southern Africa are threatened by famine and the drought in Ethiopia could be worse than that of the 1980s. WFP did not provide a breakdown of the population and the countries in Africa that will suffer hunger.

While he reported that an unprecedented number of people were threatened by hunger in Africa, Morris said countries like India, Russia and China have become economically better off and have boosted food production to produce surplus for export and donations.

Morris appeared before the 15-nation council to urge its members to assist his agency’s commitments to the poor. WFP is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars a year to feed people around the world. – Sapa-DPA
