Milwalkee riots

[Thumpalumpacus]

Once again speaking out of ignorance. The famine had been covered here since September of that year, long before Geldof et al put together "Feed the World".

Wrong about the bolded part:

Close to 8 million people became famine victims during the drought of 1984, and over 1 million died. In the same year (October 23),[26][27] a BBC news crew was the first to document the famine, with Michael Buerk describing "a biblical famine in the 20th Century" and "the closest thing to hell on Earth".[28] The report shocked Britain, motivating its citizens to bring world attention to the crisis in Ethiopia.

In January 1985 the RAF carried out the first airdrops from Hercules C-130s delivering food to the starving people. Other countries including Sweden,[29] East and West Germany, Poland, Canada, United States and the Soviet Union were also involved in the international response.

Who was first?

Once again displaying your inability to read for all to see.

I didn't say we were the first to do anything. I said the famine had been covered (i.e., put on the news) long before Geldof and company organized their charity, which it was; I remember seeing the first reports of it in September 1984.

You know, for such a smart, cultured Europeeeean, you sure do have problems reading simple English.
