The food crsis is really the new earth s quiak , the new crsis does not concern to Affrica only but it is concern to all people around the world , it is as result from the change of weather and also the little respect from the great power about the galoble clamit , so i think the crsis is growing day by day , so the united nations should be working hard to solution this humanitry satuiton . finally my hopful for new world without any human hungry .

Moni:

Oh! It's not only a leakage of my personal resources??? ;-)

Yes, the politicians seem to ignore the aggravate situation even in front of their doorstep. The worldwide signs are obvious and immense.The living costs increased in an unbearable way - even in Germany.
But we all should temper the wind to the shorn lamb, mean the really poor in the world and should not pray on them.
It must be a superordinate target for all governments in the world to find balanced solutions for future orientated energy supply without further exploitation as well as to get a grip on the worldwide increasing impecuniousness.
The margin of the middle class has already been exceeded. We continuously drive in direction of a worldwide two-class-system ... the poor who are barely able to pull through their families and the super-rich ones who don't know how to spend their accumulated wealth.
This might be a very sarcastic point of view, but I am of the opinion that the vision of the "Brave New World", written by Aldous Huxley in 1932, impends to come true.

Chaotician:

I would not hold my breath for enlightened action by anyone in this world today!

Economic forces are dominated by those who could care less about any "collateral" damage that might occur as they grab all they can to get additional zeros in their bank accounts. Political forces are being bought, co-opted, and essentially becoming extensions of these same economic corporations and governmental entities of the wealthy and the powerful.
