Did you think that famines stopped when the tracks of "Concert
for Bangladesh" were laid down? A few I can think of whitout even
trying
are (currently) North Korea, and emerging, Zimbabwe, and back a few
years,
Somalia, Ethiopia, Chad, Kenya, Eritrea and Sudan. I'm sure I could
think
of others if I really got off my blot.

now try and think of others where there hasn't been a war or nutcase
kicking farmers of their land in the previous decade.
Kenya is the only one of the above list which is not war torn or ruled
by a complete ideologue.

Somalia, Ethiopia, Chad, Eritrea and Sudan have all had pretty major
wars in the last few years, does Somalia actually have a government at
the moment? Sudan has had endemic warfare since pretty much the 1960s.
