i dont understnad though, look around them, the land is fertile enough for them to plan crops like rice, corn or wheat. and look at these people, they are totally capable of doing that why dont they do it? see im from vietnam and , in vietnam, we have to work our way up from nothing, we plan our crops ourselves, we dont ask people for food.

Dear Nguyen

Don't be so naive... In many part of Africa, people are smart just like in Vietnam everywhere. If you do more research, you'll find out that because their land is full on natural resources, their daily is disturbed.

How can people grow crop if big companies want to stone and arm the tribal groups? Hunger is human made! Do more research my dear.

--> yea, but your last war is a long time ago and you got some help to rebuild as well. Congo is a war torn mess still today.

[OBSysteme]

@nguyentuan1990 i think you may not fully grasp the political and demographic situation. for example, in the east of DRC, the land is technically a paradise and highly fertile. but neighboroung countries are overpopulated and historical conflits in Rwanda, Ouganda and Burundi always spill out into congo, plus mineral wealth attracks foreign armies all the time. Plus do not forget that most Palm oil farms are privately owned by countries like USA. Congo is a land of impunity, try to farm there.

The only thing the UN is good for!

They should be using either a UNIMOG or a "Tatra" 8X8!

@WrexsouI

I find it quite funny when I read comments like yours. Do you have any idea how big Africa is? We have lots of different climate zones and a variety of countries developed to various different levels. I spend allot of time in parts of Mozambique which could compare to the best places on earth considering the coastline, weather, nature, infrastructure and communications. If you don't understand what I just told you, ask your teacher to teach you about the real Africa.

handing out 'LIMITLESS' ---- 'Free' food destroys local farmers and agribusiness.

This is the folly of Oxfam an her kin.

You'd be SHOCKED as to how many farmers GIVE UP after prices drop to ZERO.

Say, would YOU work for zip if aliens dropped manna from heaven?

I thought not.

That's why wen you give to Quangos like Oxfam... you're creating perpetual dependency.

AND, destroying ALL the local farmers.

Who in hell can compete with FREE?
