Around Africa: Lunching in Zimbabwe

A one-day wonder.

Hey, starving black people is nothing new.


"Zimbabwe faces critical food shortage" by Associated Press | March 12, 2010

HARARE, Zimbabwe — An estimated 2.17 million Zimbabweans — perhaps a fourth of the country’s population — are in need of food aid, the Red Cross said yesterday.

In a statement, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies pleaded for international funds for urgent food aid to Zimbabwe. UN organizations also have appealed for more donor funds.

“In some parts of the country, the food situation is as bad as many of our volunteers and staff have ever seen it,’’ said Emma Kundishora, secretary general of the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society.

Erratic rain — too much in some areas and too little in others — has damaged crops of corn, the staple food across the southern African nation.

The former regional breadbasket also has been hit by acute shortages of seed and fertilizer.

Because of U.N. and Western sanctions, but that will remain unmentioned in my "newspaper."

The Red Cross expressed particular concern about the possible impact of existing and looming food shortages on people living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

“Hunger is an especially brutal experience for these people,’’ Kundishora said, adding that people were interrupting AIDS medication because the drugs are too toxic without food.

Kill 'em anyway you can.

In December 2009, the Red Cross extended the emergency food operation in Zimbabwe until October 2010, calling on donors for $33.2 million in extra funding. The agency faces a shortfall of about $23.9 million, yesterday’s statement said.

“Right now, the situation is already critical; more than 2 million people need direct humanitarian support,’’ said Dr. Stephen Omollo, the Red Cross representative in Zimbabwe. “And we know that this will get worse as the upcoming harvest already appears to have failed.’’

The Zimbabweans must be so thin that the Zionist War Daily missed them, huh?

Remember when the West was calling him a
monster?

They sure forgot quick.

Must have been unable to dislodge him with the covert ops campaign or else the dictator is cooperating in running arms to the region.


And whatever happened to that
cholera epidemic?

It certainly can not have gone away.
