Record 45m people need food aid in southern Africa : UN

Nearly half of Zimbabwe's 15 million people live in a state of chronic food insecurity -- some 2.2 million in urban areas and five million in the countryside, according to UN figures.

In October, Zambia's Red Cross flagged that the drought had left an estimated 2.3 million people facing"severe food insecurity". The country was a longtime regional breadbasket.

With love from their utterly corrupt leaders.

Southern Africa. Despot corrup political parties. Hmmm. I wonder if there's a link.

Black rule

But they have land. Why are they not feeding themselves.

Rising population is Africa's biggest threat...

When the land expropriation bill comes in, this 45 million will go to 100 million

The aussies are dropping food for animals from planes for heavens sake, why are we in Africa struggling to help humans!

LucidualLady 'Record 45M people I Southern Africa need competent leadership.' There, I fixed it.

I wonder it will be until when we stop this aid thing because it doesn’t work. This reminds me of the book called Dead aid by dambisamoyo
