Biased Political Regulation of the West Exacerbates Global Hunger Crisis

At least three-fourths of 1.4B Africans can’t afford a healthy diet, and a fifth are facing starvation due to an “unprecedented food crisis,” UN agencies say in a report w/ the African Union Commission

Despite its wealth of natural resources, Africa is far from meeting its commitment to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2025, the report claims:

Millions are expected to be at risk of worsening hunger in the near future, as the hit on world grain supplies from the failure to unblock Russian exports under the Black Sea grain deal compounds the ills of African conflicts, climate change&the aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Global food insecurity has reached new heights, causing 258M people in 2022 to face high levels of acute food insecurity in 58 countries/territories, up from 193M people in 53 countries/territories in 2021. More than 40% of those affected reside in 5 countries experiencing protracted crises: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Yemen
