HUNGER & ANGER:AN EMERGING GLOBAL CRISIS

 This is sad Godsson....i think world leaders should act fast too...d situation is getting out of hand..
its not haiti but everywhere especially 3rd worlds.u quoted  ,"an hungry man is an angry man". well i was watching d same article and saw pple scrambling for pairs of slippers donated by philantropists from miami,one of the distributors actually said dat 'poverty has a way of making pple to be cunning' because of d way some pple were trying to cheat...dis also brings to the forefront the issue of global  warming cos if not bcause of it Haiti wouldnt have been in this situation

Brothers!I agree with you.this is an emerging crisis that the world is overlooking at its own peril.As the number of hungry people increase,there is bound to be conflict.this is because everybody would want to secure a share of the loot.This will lead to a war of all against all.The army of the hungry will rise against the rich in all human societies.that revolt might lead to the end of human civilization.

I hope so too.I also know that the U.N via it's Food Program is doing something about it.However,the weakness of the UN is not helping matters.This is because of States like the US refuse to pay their UN dues sometimes.We need a new,stronger & batter UN to effectively cater for common global concerns.Let's hope world rulers would respond to this need.

That's the problem with Neo-con philosophy.They think the US can "go it alone".Thus,they dont ve to 'waste' their moneys in paying UN dues.It's funny,but it's a surprising reality.WE NEED A NEW & TRULY UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION.Not this present war bounty,that gave WWII victors VETO to act as they deem fit.

lol....Godsson u dey craze no be small

Big bros,I agree with you to a point.However,I must warn that you should not be naive to think that the UN would do anything serious to solve this problem.You are right about the need for a NEW U.N.O.However,I do not see anything phenomenal about such a body.As long as the international divition of labour persist,wealthy countries place barriers on primary products from less developed states,continue to set the price for the exports of the 3rd world,thereby affecting their(3rd world)balance of Trade adversely,etc,the problem will be there.If you like,creat the most perfect UN or another Global multipurpose organization,there wont be any appreciable change in the lives of the wretched of the earth.The crisis you talked about will only deepen.
What the poor & hungry people of the world needs is empowerment and not handouts.

Godsson,I hope you understand where am coming from.

This food crises is not getting any better because nations are still to greedy.
Now that they are using corn to substitute petrol the crises will be even bigger. As there is already starting to be a shortage in corn.
Europe for instance is throwing millions of kilos of food away just to make the food prices higher.
And not only Europe it happens in many countries they just stop producing as a product loses its profit.
This hunger crises could be resolved but its just not profitable to do so.

I saw that program too people eating dirt while in the west food is thrown away.

Also with the upcoming of GM foods the crises will even get bigger.
