This is not to be considered a natural famine, instead an artificial famine has taken place due to the reckless policies of the government without due consideration towards the interests of the locals. The 'inflation of the country has increased by 1700%, and is considered to be the highest in the world' (Steffen, 2005). Under such circumstances where the earning opportunities for the locals have been extremely limited, where the production of agricultural goods have halted, where the trade with international community has dropped, and the imports to the country are being solely targeted for the fulfillment of the needs of the state and government, the people have been left in extreme critical situation. The political chaos were expected, and several attempts have been staged for the removal of the government, the government has been attacked by the people, but in either ways the might of the people has residual as compare to the powers and resources owned by the government (Peter, 2002).
The army of the country was previously accountable for the murder of more than twenty thousand locals; therefore the locals can not rely on the army for support and assistance. The international aid being provided to the country has been misused by the government and army, therefore worst kind of famine has been artificially developed by the state, and no one is there to account for the murder of thousands, the suicide figures of the country has rose significantly higher than the world wide pattern. The political unrest has resulted in the divisions within the government, and 'it is expected that sooner or later the grievances of the locals will be addressed' (Steffen, 2005).

The government has been forced to address the grievances of the locals on immediate notice, so that the mass immigration of the locals to other countries can be avoided. The strengthen of the local population has the ability to shook the government, and the 'failure on the part of the government to ensure proper food supply to the locals resulted in the expected collapse of the government'. This is the clear indication of the fact that the local influence and protests has always established tangible impact on the government and the society (Peter, 2002).
