Default East Africa "in the grip of the worst drought since the 1984 famine".

Sky News Text:
[The Daily Mirror splashes on a striking image
of a grandmother caring for her
hungry great grandson in East Africa
"in the grip of the worst drought since
the 1984 famine". A simple accompanying
headline says "Please help us".
The paper's chief reporter Andy Lines interviews
the woman, who is called Rantilei and
"aged about 90", in Kenya and she tells
him: "We have nothing to eat or drink."

It's honestly terrible news to hear.

Hopefully something will be done to help them.

They are Rich
and were using UK Aid Money
but that was stopped last year or so.

(As we need that money for Our Poor)


No rain for 6 years
is unlucky.



William Ruto was sworn in as Kenya's fifth president
He is doing Bugger all

Foreign aid going directly to their governments is pointless, may as well just burn it. Much better to give it to Western charities operating in the area.

All those poor people facing real starvation.
Yes, their government are somewhat to blame for their lack of help, but that shouldn’t stop us and others of sending direct food and drink aid.

Absolutely.

But giving money to their governments won't do much for the people.
