A Massive Drought in Somalia Again

It sounds so familiar drought in Somalia puts more of people at risk of starvation. How could this be when in recent years Somalia was lauded as a country on the rise–one of the bright spots in Sub Saharan Africa? After all, Somalia has experienced economic growth of 10 percent in recent years. How can millions be at risk of starvation again and what can be done?

Those who are old enough to remember the Live Aid concert in last years, which raised millions of dollars to provide food to starving Somalia, might be thinking we had solved the problem of famine, particularly in Somalia.
