UN warns of new locust swarms 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.

UN warns of new locust swarms in Africa

[As if Africa doesn”t have enough problems… Nature is hurting it a lot too. All sorts of natural disasters which White Colonials used to work towards preventing now grip the continent more and more. Now that the Whites have gone, Nature is biting hard… Jan]

Rome – The United Nations” Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) warned on Friday of new threats to African countries from locusts swarms, while repeating that West African states which were ravaged last year should escape this time.

Most at risk were Eritrea and Sudan”s western Darfur region, already suffering a humanitarian disaster because of civil war, the FAO said, while locusts had also been seen in parts of Algeria, Morocco and Mali.

“Survey operations should be intensified in Sudan and neighbouring Eritrea as several swarms have moved east across Sudan from Darfur towards the Gedaref area and the border with Eritrea in mid-June,” the FAO said in its latest update.

In early June, a few swarms, originating from Guinea, moved across West Africa, eventually reaching western Darfur where they quickly matured, it said.

“Some swarms laid eggs in western and northern Darfur while others moved eastwards, first appearing in western and northern Kordofan and then continuing across the Nile River to Gedaref in eastern Sudan.

“Some swarms may have already reached the western lowlands of Eritrea and north-west Ethiopia.”

In northwest Africa locust infestations continued to decline, though small populations were found and treated in north-east Morocco and southern Algeria, the FAO said.

In West Africa, large scale swarms are thought unlikely to invade the Sahel this year, but there has been an unconfirmed report by nomads of two swarms in northern Mali in early June, the report said.

“To prevent a repetition of last year”s disaster, intensive survey operations should be immediately launched in Mali, Niger and Chad, continued in Mauritania and maintained in all of these countries during the summer breeding season,” it said, quoting locust expert Clive Elliott.

Last year, huge swarms invaded the Sahelian countries from north-west Africa causing extensive damage in the worst locust upsurge in 15 years.

The FAO, regional countries and the international community spent more than $200-million in preventing it. – Sapa-AFP
