Famine Problems
Famine is the easily described as poverty. However, this might appear to be wrong. According to the standards of delivering meaning in the English language, poverty means the lack of a necessity and not absolute starvation. This is why we would now use famine as ’absolute starvation'- the starvation that even animals do not experience.
This is, however, a true situation in Eastern Africa. The Economist has drawn a graphic that indicates the famine levels in troubled Easter African countries. The leadership is held by Somalia that has over 3,6 million people from its 7,5 million population that lack not only necessities but are also starving. Ethiopia is another story with almost 10% of its population starving. Kenya is gradually improving but even there the problems continue to persist and a lot of people lack any source of nutrition.
The reason according to the Economist is a complex mixture of several negative factors. And this has nothing to do with the primary teaching jobs – no matter how much we claim education is the problem in these countries, it appears that social understandings, international negligence and nature problems are the main sources of the spread of famine.
The rainfalls in these countries would be insufficient in regions of grossly exceeding the normal levels in others. This brings along agricultural disaster that would deprive millions from a meal a day. Furthermore, the civil conflicts in the country continue to rage whereas international organizations seem to be showing no understanding. More than half of Somalia is now on the edge of a food crisis and more than 50 billion dollars would be necessary for the countries in Eastern Africa to obtain nutrition for their people in 2011.
