Obama Approves $105 Million in Humanitarian Aid for East Africa

RE: Obama Approves $105 Million in Humanitarian Aid for East Africa
$105 mill is a drop in the bucket, though, and stopping someone from starving to death today will do nothing for tomorrow.

The entire country is dysfunctional and even making certain that the aid gets where it is needed - instead of ending up in the hands of one of the warring parties - is a major task.

Previous grain dumps have not reversed the process of dessication which is causing the Sahara to continually expand. What they have done, ironically, is drastically slash grain prices for those farmers who were still able to grow a crop and drive them into poverty as well.

Some problems do not have a solution.
