Starving Niger

Fresh from the "it doesn't matter, it's Africa" file, the UN has issued an emergency response need in Niger, where 150,000 immediately face the threat of starvation, and the international community has been slow to respond. Many of us are caught unaware. With G8 we may feel good about doubling aid to Africa, it still remains as the most neglected continent, with the most need.
