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 divisions has been responsible for the split of cooperation which previously the security forces provided to the...
Such an opportunity has been fully availed by the international community which is seeking the ousted of the head of the government, and sources have revealed that sooner or later with the coordination of the people major offense against the government is expected to be launched (Jean, 2000). The South Africa in this regard a played proactive role and attempts have been made by the South African government to resolve the political, social and economic issues of the country. 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).
There is some hope within some countries but maybe no hope between countries. As long as there are disparities within the economic balances of different countries there will always be food being used as a political weapon. Those countries that do have adequate supplies of food though, have a hope to balance their food politics out within themselves. There is the possibility of providing more food for the poor within
Introduction Egyptian civilization lasted for almost three thousand years, far longer than any of its counterparts in the ancient world. A combination of factors including geography, resource management, economic and political institutions, and social and cultural variables came together to enable the flourishing and longevity of Egypt. Once a collection of city-states scattered along the Nile River, Egypt unified itself into a singular political entity in about 3100 BCE (“Ancient Egypt,”
Africa's Political Crisis Most African colonies became independent in the 1950s and 1960s amid hopes that this would be the prelude to an era of democracy and development (Cooper, 2002). By the end of the 1980s, Africa was plagued by instability, authoritarianism, poverty, war and famine. In some countries, the state itself had begun to disintegrate. There are many reasons for Africa's current state of political instability. For one, continuous rivalry between
Comparing the Minoan and Sea People Civilizations, we find that the Minoans were largely successful because of their Island base and ability to use their technology for trading purposes; thus enhancing their own civilization as well as those they encountered. The Sea Peoples were likely an amalgamation of Mediterranean cultures, whose shipbuilding and warfare technologies allowed them to influence much of the coastal areas, just not as proactively or positively

This may be attributed to the widespread attention that is paid by the media to illnesses and lack of education of underdeveloped nations.
