UN says largest humanitarian crisis since 1945

RE: UN says largest humanitarian crisis since 1945
Wait.  You think if you go into these countries you deal directly with poor people?  You have to deal with (translation=bribe) the powers that be and basically pay protection so that the other side(s) allows you to give the starving a bowl of gruel.  There have been far too many examples of aid becoming just another weapon in these civil war.

All of which does nothing to resolve the underlying crisis which in most of these cases is entirely man made.  In situations where it is not man made it is totally insolvable, as the rather nutty Sam Kinnison pointed out years ago.
