It was appalling to see images of victims of starvation in Niger hit the Western media in July 2005, when the food shortage had been announced nearly a year before without triggering a response that could have prevented or ameliorated a famine. In 2004, an early and insufficient rainy season caused a food shortage of 156,000 metric tons of maize (Associated Press 2004). Moreover, Niger has few of the modern tools that might enable it to feed itself, meaning that charities must make up a food shortage virtually every year. |
