niger is in a pretty poor state right now. 3 million people are starving. a third of it's poplation. and why? a locut plague then a drought. so they have a famine right now? is this new news? no. the un were told in october it was going to happen. but noone bothered. ignored it. so 3 weeks after the g8. billions of people watched live 8. a quarter of a million people marched in edinburgh. when we were promised we could make a difference. things could change. they would change. we would end starvation and poverty, 3 weeks after that yet again we watch africans starve on our tv.

why?
