I imagine that there not being enough food for the masses means that people will starve and die. I guess the UN wants money to feed people yet at the same time save none....and to demand from other countries where economies are struggling and ppl are losing their homes... where cities burn and crime is at a high.. where do you think that the relief will come from?
i simply don’t care about Ethiopia’s plight.

I could be more callous if it were a drought or plague, crop failure.. i could say this was nature.
but this is stupid humans being stupid humans.
war is un-evolved, chimp behaviour.

Ethiopia has a long history of draught and feminine, war or not... they were blaming climate change on it 4 years ago. Etheopia is a dry play and crops never do well.

Beach Ball Bitch yes, but this famine is NOT to do with drought or crop failure. Also, from wikipedia:
Ethiopia has great agricultural potential because of its vast areas of fertile land, diverse climate, generally adequate rainfall, and large labor pool. Despite this potential, however, Ethiopian agriculture has remained underdeveloped. Because of drought, which has repeatedly affected the country since the early 1970s, a poor economic base (low productivity, weak infrastructure, and low level of technology), and overpopulation, the agricultural sector has performed poorly.
"vast areas of fertile land" seems to contradict what you're saying. If all the human energy being put into war was put into building a better world, the world would be better.
