Famine in the Horn of Africa
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-10-04/famine-horn-africa
Nearly 13 million people in the Horn of Africa are suffering from the worst drought in 60 years, made worse by ongoing conflicts there. The U.N. estimates that nearly a million people will starve by years end without additional help, but many wonder where the money will come from. The U.S. has already contributed $593 million in aid, but Congressional budget cuts will likely translate to less money for future aid, which could have wide-ranging repercussions.
