Famine fears for East Africa

Jul 24 - A UK charity is calling for immediate action to avert a major food crisis in East Africa and prevent people starving.

Why is the problem always somewhere else? Has anyone seen food prices in the US? Or is it a charity for the Last of the Mohicans casino?

Well, the prices in the US are high but in West Africa there is no food or money to buy it.
Refugee camps only have basic things like flour and oil. People are not getting any protein in their diets and even the flour cakes that they make don't contain enough calories to sustain life or give them vitamines and protein. In the US people eat and waste way too much. If everyone shared a bit every day there would be no need to go on Atkins diet, Jenny Craig diet, etc. Look at the advertisements on TV : food and diet sites. What a paradox....

Well what do you know, Famine fears for East Africa, take working farms from land owners who know how to farm, and give them to your political friends, who do not know how to farm and don't want to. And then wonder how people are going to get food to eat.. Then add war and civil unrest where anyone with a weapon can join a group and go around killing people that just want to raise a family and provide for them by growing food and living off the surrounding lands. And the governments are unable to help the citizens, or just don't care as long as they get their world aid..

the ETHNIC CLEANSING of white farmers from southern africa is near completion. i guess free food from western white countries will be demanded. the remaining white tribe(dutch, english) in south africa should be allowed to immigrate to u.s., australia, europe.
