Famine and Wars in African Continent: Result of Human Error.

 

Africa is a continent of more than six hundred million people, where every day its inhabitants cope with war, ethnic dissent and hunger. Famine is not a new phenomenum in Africa. Disastrous periods of chronic under-nutrition for the whole population and frightening increase in mortality are a constant of history. Hunger, in the contemporary civilization, is less acceptable than in the old days. Indeed, the enormous enlargement of production, which in recent decades, would ensure a sufficient quantity of food. In our time famine is a outcome of the men and therefore was avoided. Certainly one of the most extravagant failures of the rich nations in the face of the hunger and the famine in Afria is the lack of systematic initiatives to solve the issue. But to speak of hunger, we verbalise only a lack of food. Famine is mainly the outcome of serious human error. Further, floods and drought in some native lands are frequently and regularly, the environmental characteristics in the bygone days when man did not regulate nature, but which today make no sense given man’s ability to regulate nature with technology. Simultaneously, hunger is natural and fits into any fundamental principle of nature. Hunger and war are the product of man, his manner of organizing and apportioning the land and wealth, the criteria for capital investment, the irrational ploughing of the land and subsoil.
