严重的粮食不安全已经以最严重的形式--饥荒--重新回到了非洲的大部分地区，或者仅仅是因为西方人的目光过于关注9/11的后果、对阿富汗和伊拉克的入侵以及美国和伊拉克持续的死亡，使评论家们对非洲的持续贫困视而不见，所以粮食不安全从未消失过？埃塞俄比亚、厄立特里亚和苏丹的粮食危机似乎最为严重，那里的人民面临因疾病、营养不良和饥饿而死亡的危险。埃塞俄比亚在人们记忆中持续时间最长的干旱导致非洲之角麻疹和疟疾等可预防疾病的发病率高于正常水平，经济崩溃，更普遍的是，未能促进非洲其他地区的可持续经济增长，使得立即预防饥荒、恢复和长期抵抗饥荒的复发似乎是不可能的。
Acute food insecurity has returned to much of Africa in its acutest form – famine – or is it simply that it never went away because western eyes have focussed too much on the consequences of 9/11, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the continuing US and Iraqi fatalities that blind commentators to Africa’s continuing poverty? A food crisis seems most acute in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan where people are at risk from death resulting from illness, malnutrition and hunger. Ethiopia’s longest drought in living memory has led to higher than normal incidences of preventable illness like measles and malaria and economic collapse in the Horn, and more generally the failure to promote sustainable economic growth elsewhere in Africa makes immediate famine prevention, recovery and long term resistance to its recurrence seemingly impossible.
