Addario, Lynsey. "The Waste Land." Newsweek International 17 Oct. 2011. Global Issues in
Context. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. A photographer that frequently visits Somalia, has seen
death in many families. She travels to get a more in depth experience and learn how to
help the people living in the Horn of Africa. She explains the hardships that these
families are going through there. She experienced a pregnant woman waiting for care
with her two daughters and within four to five days of being there, her two daughters had
died. Malnutrition is one of the biggest problems in Southern Africa. The photographer
tells us just how bad it is there. She is encouraging us to make a change.

"Chronicle of a famine foretold; The Horn of Africa." The Economist 30 July 2011: 46(US).
Global Issues in Context. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. This article begins with the landing of a
plane that has 10 tons of plumpy nut that can reverse malnutrition in 3,500 children. The
article goes on about the statistics of malnutrition and how Southern Africa will run out
of money very quickly. Not very many places are supporting Africa with food or money.
The cost of food is rising which makes it much harder for the African government to
supply food to each and every person. Its estimated that it will cost $23 per head to stop
the famine. This will cost millions of dollars that the government doesnt have. This is
why donors should stop the famine before it even starts.

Land, T.E. "Managing the tragically inevitable." The Middle East June 2013: 26+. Global Issues
in Context. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. This article is about how Southern Africa is taking the
turn for the worst. The writer has experienced what happened when the Arabs were faced
with famine. He compares the two and also says that Africa is worse off than they were.
With the lack of money Africa cant get their food and with the harsh climate they cant
grow their food. He also states that speed is essential to fix a famine. The best way to
prevent a famine is to stop it before it even starts by donating the money when a food
crisis or drought begins.
Moring, Mark. "Undoing the damage: if the famine in the Horn of Africa is manmade, human
intervention can end the crisis." Christianity Today Oct. 2011: 60+. Student Resources in
Context. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. This article is all about how droughts are caused by nature
and famine is manmade. The writer states a lot of evidence on how this famine began.
With countries only sending little money, an estimated 1.4 billion is still needed to put an
end to this famine. Many times in the past the United Nations has sent billions of dollars
to places that were swept by natural disaster. The authors question is why they wont send
enough to save millions of Africans from the famine. Some of the reasons is that Africa
wont accept the genetically altered seeds to grow crops. If they would simply take the
seeds and learn how to farm they would better off.

Osa, Edorodion. "Africa needs trade, not aid." New African Feb. 2012: 36+. Global Issues in
Context. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. This article is all about how the International community
should be blamed for the famine in Africa. The author goes on to support his claim by
showing how much money countries are sending to help versus what is needed to save
them. Ever since the drought started in Africa they have been in dire need of help. The

money that is being given to help Africa has increased in the last couple of years because
more and more people are learning about the millions of deaths in Africa. Also this article
goes on to say how some countries have completely turned their backs to helping Africa
in a time of need.
