Russia-Ukraine war, drought fuel hunger crisis in Africa | DW News

- The UN says the Horn of Africa is experiencing its worst drought in four decades, and the problem is compounded by a lack of humanitarian aid.
As a result, millions could face famine in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti. The ongoing war in Ukraine is further worsening the already worrying situation. Somalia in particular is the worst affected. DW Correspondent Mariel Mueller traveled to the town of Dollow, where three camps for internally displaced people have sprung up in the last few months.
And it's not just the Horn of Africa facing a humanitarian crisis. Some West African countries are also struggling to meet food security demands. But the crisis there is mainly driven by Islamist insurgencies that have forced millions of people off their land in countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Nigeria.
Many who rely on farming for their survival are prevented from accessing it. DW's Flourish Chukwurah went to Maiduguri in Nigeria to meet one farmer who's afraid to go back even though the government says it is safe to return.
But food security is just one of the issues affecting Africa. Leaders recognize the need for more collaborative solutions to make life bearable for many on the continent.
This week, politicians and other decision-makers from Africa and Europe got together in Berlin for what is called the Africa Roundtable. The event addressed topics including how the war in Ukraine is impacting lives across Africa. Decision makers at the event included, Amadou Hott, Senegal's Minister of Economy, Planning & Cooperation.

No money, no job, no skills, no prospects?
Perfect! Let's have 15 kids and hope for the best!
Somalia must be doing very well. In 2000 the population was only 8 million and in 2022 it is 16 million!
was 2.7 million in 1960.. but shhhh.. people don't want to know the truth..
@@cosmo_mosy same in South America, full of Catholics = same as the Philippines
People need to stop having more kids but that takes effort as well. Contraceptives, education are lacking. Why? you will lose your mind over the thousand possible answers why.
@@kfekadu55 religion often plays a big part.. Allah will decide how many children you will have and Allah will provide. Except the last part he prefers to leave to western aid agencies
in 2040 it´ll be 32 million and in 2050 it´ll be ZERO...
Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger.
INVESTING Wisely in the Stock MARKET is the ONLY VEHICLE out of POVERTY for the MASSES of Poor across the GLOBE! The reason they remain poor is because they have NOT been Taught to Trade STOCKS. read the story of the 5 TALENTS in the Bible..The SERVANT that RECEIVED 5 TALENTS(sum of Money) WENT out and TRADED(stock Market) with the SAME(Money) and Made 5 MORE(doubled his money)......Imagine if they had only bought 10 BITCOIN when it was selling at $0.01...they could have sold if for $670,000 back in NOV 2021. learn to trade Stocks POOR PEOPLE
ouch
True, and ending the evil that is also the current major part of the problem. And as far away as Russia. They can't afford birth control if they can't afford food, though, can they. It is so easy to assume what we have available that costs us next to nothing is available to everyone. It isn't.
They don't have industry, infrastructure and machinery to get by without manpower.
@@Progan666 All they NEED is to BE TAUGHT HOW to TRADE STOCKS "Wisely". That's IT. They are POOR...but they can TAKE their MEAGER EARNINGS and INVEST WISELY and make more....Then when a WHOLE Nation "practices" this ..this is what leads to education, construction, industry, infrastructure and machinery. Those ladies that had cattle and farms could have been buying BITCOIN at $0.01 "SECRETLY" so that when they lost all that they had they would still have PASSWORD protected ACCOUNTS and NO ONE would know but them. READ the parable of the 5 TALENTS in the BIBLE...That Parable is a GIFT, GUIDE and WARNING to the POOR...Its meant for THEM..A WAY out of POVERTY. Everyday TRILLION$ of Dollars TRADE on FOREX and MONEY Markets around the globe. TEACH them how to ACCESS these MARKETS. That's IT. Happy trading!
It is ironic that not long ago I saw hundreds of comments on youtube written by Somali people who were overjoyed because of the war in Ukraine. They were so much in love with Russia and wishful for Russia to harm the west. 😩
A prime example of 'be careful what you wish for', and thinking things through. I wonder who will help feed them now? I'm betting it WON'T be Russia, not free anyway. Keep in mind though, that a few YT trolls does not a nation make.
The vest majority of those people aren’t even from let alone live in Africa. Most of the people from the poor parts of Africa can’t even afford or have access to the Internet.
@@MrJdsenior somalia was already suffering before Ukraine and Russia war western troops are already in the country and do nothing that's why they were supporting Russia US always carries attack that's hurt the civilians in the name of destroying militias group
i may be sick in the head but why are they having kids ?
Even animals will think twice and move to a greener pastures rather then stay put and continue breeding until starvation. Animals are more intelligent then humans
Africa try to help yourself and stop depending on European countries
Same happened in rhodesia. White farmers tried to help them to grow food in mass or huge quantity to feed africans. But they kicked the white farmers out and now they blame europeans for their starvation
Africa has been in a state of drought and famine for centuries, I think other countries are just tired of constantly sending aid, but the problem never get resolved.
Precisely
Flood, droughts, civil wars and population explosion.
@@pekkanumminen81 More or less all those things can be handled. IF they work for it. You think the west was farmland, when we settled here? ;)
Maybe if they would stop having so many babies the things would improve. You cannot expect to have a comfortable life with 9 children! Unless you're like a billionaire or something.
@@lasma.a spoken like a westerner
cool for them but why is it our probem to constant supply them with food they had 400 years to fix that
Why on earth did many of the countries relying on the grain vote in favour of Russia at the UN!
Exactly my question
because they are african politician even more corrupt than the russians if that is possible
I can't imagine the suffering of these women losing their children due to lack of food and water. I admire their physical and emotional strength 💕
How much funding has gone to these country to help them.. many decades these organizations need to be investigated.. where that money has really gone to when donation has been given!!
Until they start treating girls better, educating them rather than selling them as brides at an early age, all the aid in the world won't help.
I didn't know they had stopped starving tbh. How long have they been well fed?
you shouldnt have more people/kids than you can feed

@@ZetaMoolah How's that surviving thing going?
They keep bringing children into this world knowing their awful future. WHY?
Because sex feels good.
@@helmut3356 primitive and very selfish
All rich countries have low birth rates.South korea=0.9 children per woman, just for example.
Poverty would be reduced if the birth rate is lower?
Exactly
The other way around. If people get a better living standard, birthrate drops automatically. It is a long journey to get there.
@@migsvensurfing6310 No
What Somalia needs is a functioning govt that's willing to do what needs to be done by implementing a 2 child policy for all the poor people whilst the wealthier people can have as many children as they want so they'd all be well fed and educated so they can benefit the country as a whole and it's economy. Even if this govt ends up being a dictatorship, such laws will need to be necessary otherwise the country will just stay poor.
@@migsvensurfing6310 No, a country's living standards are directly linked to the status of women. Those countries that educate girls, all the way through college, have lower birth rates, and standards go up. It is education of females that lower the birthrate. As long as little girls are married off to old men, to begin spitting out children around age 12, poverty and starvation will continue.
These women need birth control. Not being mean, but nine children are a lot of mouths to feed for one mother and no support. Again, not being mean, it’s tragic.
9 children in desert drought war torn region for decades, that’s not irresponsible. That’s child abuse, by uneducated parents.
One woman with nine children !!
I bet the government officials don't go hungry.
9 children??? What in drought ridden africa?? Why??
Because they know that out of 9 only 2/3 will make it successfully to the adulthood, if all goes well.
Poverty and patriarchy leads to lack of education and choices.
@@rahulchawla62 thats how insects and animals think....
@@freethinker8603 Yes you are right. Thats why Africa is and will remain under-developed for years to come.
@@MyHandelsMessiah Yes agree with you on this. Hope they'll understand soon enough and make our planet a bit better.
Having so much kids is unsustainable...
It is in some ways, but the thing is, in countries like that and in the past you had many children in hope that you'd have some surviving children. That's the reason why countries which have gained economic health have fewer children. India which have developed rapidly over the past 70 years since the 1950's have gone from roughly 5-6 children per woman to 2.5 children per woman, and the same goes for every country. Somalia has had civil war and terrorism for decades now, so they haven't had any real economic opportunities and that along with education, or lack there off and no access to birth control (and education about it) mean that the number of children is bound to be high.
@@taylarmarr475 The problem is the status of women. Girls don't get educated, but instead are married off at an early age. The few schools, built for girls, have been raided by Boko Haram, for slaves/brides. Parents are afraid to send their girls to school, and everyone remains rooted in the poverty that results from overpopulation.

It boggles my mind when I see these poor people having 5, 6,8, 10 children and more!! Why??? When there's war, drought and insecurity why have so many children???
Because of high infant mortality rate ig... It's coming down tho.. Contraceptives are extremely important. Eventually education and development will completely turn this situation around.
Don't judge them, you are only seeing things through your western mindset
@@Gaurav-jw5je He didnt judge them but asked a legitim question.
You see they have no protection against having children another reason is that children is their pension. Half of the kids die before they can earn money and the rest will have to feed you when you get ill/old.
because they are abdullahs !!!
Besides food and water these poor people need birth control the world looks away when they know this could be fixed shame on us
But, is anyone forcing them to produce children
@@WR-NC-ASPL their religious leaders and governments are activly opposing contraception and sex ed so kinda
@@WR-NC-ASPL its human nature to want to have sex. Thats why they need birth control. No woman should be birthing 9 childen! Its not good for her or the environment, obviously.
@@WR-NC-ASPL yeah ignorance and poverty is forcing them to have more kids.
@@prasunkumar117 Religious belief!
Africa is never going to get it's act together. The whole continent survives on foreign aid.
I dont umderstand why women continue to have lots of kids when they have no food or water has always been a problem
Africa should lower its birth rate and stop relying on foreign aid so unsustainable imagine in 50 years
Are you saying western aid is feeding the 1 billion people of Africa? Or are you a victim of western media misinformation? Which one is it?
@@ibiedun156 no I didn't say that though quite a lot of Africa relies on aid Zimbabwe would basically starve without it
Notice how defensive your getting? Instead of defending why don't you do something about your insane birth rates and poverty Instead of blaming " western media"
The love for strongmen comes with a price
It may help to change their customs of having many kids that they can't feed.
You got that backwards. Higher standard of living leads to fewer children, not the other way around.
Yup, no cable TV or internet and all that’s left is sex.
@@MyHandelsMessiah You always have that level of understanding, logic, and empathy, don't you? Maybe because they can't AFFORD or obtain contraception, ever THINK OF THAT??? Grow up and learn something. You can do it, just TRY!
@@MyHandelsMessiah please tell ignorant Jojo that it is the poorest in the USA that have the most kids.
Castillo Alvin Having kids is their only hope of having someone to care for them when they are too old to work, plus lack of education doesn't help, or inept and corrupt governments that operate a self preservation policy. Unfortunately, if the land can't sustain the current population, all external aid achieves, is exacerbate the problem long term...consider....if you fed one million starving people today, they survive to have more children, so now you have to feed two million people, and so it goes, ad-infinitum....So when do you stop giving aid? The droughts are more frequent, the situation has been unsustainable for decades, and it can only deteriorate. Long term, any population should not outstrip the capability of the land they occupy, to sustain them...sad, but the inevitable result is that the population must dramatically shrink to reach some form of balance with the environment.
Throwing more and more external resources at an unsolvable problem is doomed to fail.. External aid is like sticking a plaster on a cut finger while the body is in cardiac arrest..... morally the thing to do, but....... utterly pointless!
This has been going on for decades.
Yes. For decades. People produce children and leaders steal.
@@MyHandelsMessiah In germany treating kids like that would have been child abuse. Kids treated in poverty, hunger, without water.

9 kids wow
Are they trying to bring cannibalism back to life again
I don't understand! Can someone please explain this to me? One of the women mentioned in the video has 9 children. Why!? Why 9 children? If you are not sure that you can feed 3 or 4, why to have 9 children?? Am I missing something?
I asked myself the same thing... It's so irresponsible and I can't feel compassion because if it!!
@@1977jenna sadly me neither 😔
I understand two, three, four at most, but 9?! Me and my husband are still trying to convince ourselves of one, considering the situation in the world right now - we just want to make sure that we can take care of a baby. One baby! Not 9 or even 5! Even though we would probably still survive even 9, but I think it should be quality over quantity!
9 children? ok im out
and who wants to say the population explosion has nothing to do with this.. what irresponsible people think they can have as many children as they like, then expect western countries to pay for their children, then go on to bite the hand that then feeds them - let Africa sort it's own problems out... there are more than 50 states, so there must be a good number who can help out their fellow states..
Yeah... When they say that one woman had 9 children I can't feel sorry for them. They need to start taking some responisibility themselves... Don't go and have lots of children when you can't feed them!!! 😠
Western people are paying for others to have children in their own countries already. The state I left pays a single mom $49K a year for just having two children. Imagine that. That is someone else's money created by someone else's labor. Anyone can reproduce. When it's financially rewarded this way, it encourages people reproducing for pay. I would make benefits conditional. Some kind of implantable birth control must be used in order to receive the benefits. If you can't feed your kid, you get to have ONE on someone else's dime.
The rulers of those countries need to step up and not rely on outside help alone, Africa is capable of doing better, whats going on?!
they are all infested with the desease cleptocracy nepotism thief minded mentallity

I hate to say it like this, yes maybe they need to quit having so many children. The planet does not need 8 billion people on it. I have no sympathy I know it’s mean but it’s just how it is.
What a pity for a continent!
Poison their water! These countries are going to starve and die out any way in a few years after they run out of food and start fighting for it like animals. The only way to help them is wiping out a huge chunk of population and then send enough aid that can help them grow. That is the only way and it's not about good/evil. It's what's right!
They do it to themselves and blame us for it.
Nothing new for this part of the world 🌎
All so true. Working in a humanitarian project in Somalia the impact of Covid and Ukraine war together has been staggering at all levels. Euro dropping against Dollar is another pain in the back for European NGOs here.

And no I’m not saying this to be mean, it’s just reality.
Tbf I even if they were highly educated on "survival", that wouldn't help much when they don't have the supplies or an adequately functioning govt that can get rid of the anarchism but I agree that the having 9 kids bit when they don't even have the means to feed them is outrageous.
@@hellothere1656 Thx for description of Islam's catastrophic influence!
I’ll never understand why Africa still rely on outside help when they can start growing their own food
They have all the resources
You can’t claim droughts when their large numbers of lakes, rivers, streams all throughout Africa
They’ll work in gold mines, rubber trees, picking rice by hand, but they won’t take the extra step to make ditches that leads to their farm land
Love Africa thats we’re my roots are BUT WHY DO THEY CONTINUE RELYING ON OUTSIDE HELP
Stop and think about what you've just said, people are likely going to starve and you think it's because they make a choice not dig ditches and rely on others? Africa is incredibly drought prone, over 2 thirds of the continent is highly susceptible. It is plagued by numerous problems besides that contribute to the current state of things. None of which is specialized knowledge, mind you, It's primary school geography. If you "love Africa", I would suggest you not disparage it unnecessarily. The people there have enough to deal with as it is.

@@fionasmith6868 Were that true Africa would have fed the world at some point in the past, which hasn't been the case. So it would seem that drought, conflict and the various other factors that hinder farming in Africa are indifferent to ones ethnic heritage or political inclinations.
There is severe overpopulation in Africa, that is why, they will never be able to feed all their children. Smaller family size is the only answer, Zero Population Growth. The best way to limit family size is educating girls.

Africa is a rich and fertile continent. It can grow its own food. What’s the problem here?

@Kronin In Israel, 35% of drinking water is from desalination, in Australia it is 1%. Israel is a better example, and closer to Africa.
9 children? I am in shock. How can you get anything done with 9 children? How can you work or hustle if you have so many kids? How can they pay for their childrens extracurricular activities like dance, art, summer camps? What about how csn you afford to send 9 kids to school with lunches? How can one do math homework and supervise homework and do math books with 9 kids and still go to work?
It's cos they don't have any of those they can have 9 children. Children are expected to work by the time they able to walk so it's just free labour.
Nice reporting 👏
This News is a real concern
The sad part is many of these starving nations have given support to Russia.
Only 4 nations did and Somalia is not one of them.
Sadly you see this all the time on social media. None understand the impact on their own food and fertilizer security. I'd seen a number boast that Russia would *just increase production* for them, and that (erroneously) they were fertilizer self sufficient.
Karma then isn't it.
Because they depend on them for food and weapons. Besides the Russians atleast gave them grains for several years while the West just gave them hashtags.
Of course US trump called them shith0le and the west didnt give anything to them
All the surrounding other parts of Africa can't help???
HOW MANY YEARS IS IT NOW SAME PROBLEMS IM 60 YRS OLD SO MUCH HELP HELP HELP FROM UN AND CHARITIES GLOBAL WHERE IS THE BILLIONS GOING

That's why wise men fought for peace, freedom and democracy in the last century like Gandhi and Nehru from India.
Me: But is peace, freedom and democracy defined by just one country??
why is Africans always bad news.
Africa is in serious need to enhance the infrastructure problem. But, also, there is a drought problem in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia that needs to be addressed NOW. How about drilling wells to get water so the people in outlying areas don't die from thirst or hunger. Please take of basic human need first.

Much of it right now due to ONE MAN!
I remember tv-news from fifty years ago. same problems same places.
Same huge families.
Meanwhile 100's of billions spent on war it is all sick god bless the hungry and all the children
This shows how delicately balanced world food production, distribution, and consumption are.
A localized war is causing a worldwide problem that will likely kill millions.
Imagine if a larger war happened. Or, if a global disaster happened that disrupted food operations worldwide.
Could we experience a bigger catastrophe that kills hundreds of millions, or more??
in the case of a major disaster we would quickly find out just how thin the veneer of civilisation really is.
@@bigoldgrizzly About 3mm, I think.
That's what happens when you put 8 billion people on a planet that where arable land is disappearing. It will be far worse in the future, even WITHOUT disruptions. Red meat as a consumable is not long for this world.
that "global disaster that will disrupt food operations" is a combination of climate change, plummeting pollinator populations and topsoil loss.
@@olivialim7541 Those are all ongoing problems. Their impact grows each year.
HOWEVER, the current crisis is a collapse of the ability to transport food from a war zone to the rest of the world.

Is the WFP that appears in this piece, the same WFP that recently, rather than drive vehicles for the UN logistic base in Brindisi to the boarder with Ukraine (like the other UN Agencies) had theirs air lifted at great expense - and had some of them impounded when they arrived in Moldova because they had not bothered to do the right paperwork? That WFP? It has a lot more money than most UN agencies - because people want to help the starving - and consistently pisses it away.

Wonderful. There is would actually be a godsend if the "if it rains, it pours" is taken literally. Climate change is going to make those kinds of problems far more frequent and far wider spread. We asked for it, we are starting to get it, but we haven't seen ANYTHING yet.
And our kids and their kids will see FAR worse, if it isn't fixed, assuming it even can be at this point, which I'm starting to seriously doubt. There are already very large unforeseen positive feedback systems showing up, of the level mankind cannot possibly reverse. If there aren't some negative feedback systems showing up and acting very quickly, 'we' (the human race) are possibly already screwed.
Yeah, broken record, but it is SERIOUS, and it is but one of many of critically important aspects of human survival that are quickly becoming permanent and irreversible, like oceans fished out 90%, by direct chosen points census, water drying up everywhere due to over-consumption (already wars being fought over it), and arable lands disappearing at alarming rates, with virtually no more to be had. We really are reaching, or have reached possible points of no return.

Why do African Countries have to be involved in every negative European situation?
Because they live on European welfare, so it effects them, they refuse to help themselves.
Because they rely on Europe instead of taking things into their hands. Africa has everything they need - fertile lands, natural resources and youngest population in the world. They need to fight corruption in their countries, stop importing food and produce their own. Also they need to stop having 8 kids when you don't have food even to feed one.
Heartbreaking the whole world need to come together and help and support each other stop all these senseless wars there are no true winners, the world could be such a wonderful place if we just stop tyranny and greed and need for power we need to stop destroying our Mother Earth and repair what we have all done to damage the world, god help us all

This would be a good moment to introduce birth control in countries where the food supply can not keep up with the population growth.
In some countries, the people just keep on breeding like rabbits without the slightest though about how to feed all those mouths.
Food aid has helped them for quite a while now.
given the weather condition .fertile soil. why no agriculture. if there are trees why not its full of fruit trees everywhere ?
No worries
european will not lose their sleep if this crisis is in africa
Please don't worry, the government is hard at work to resettle the entire continent in Michigan.
In Ghana also problematic economy accordingly the pandemic crisis resulted - when my son and I had a stage of malnutrition, we had helpful foodstuffs from Russia-Ukraine ladies as our court's maintenance is very low and we passed into a trap of no home as politicians had a failure, 2016, we faced fraud of many including agents, they rob us (tenants). Minimized foodstuffs, possible to do window shopping, expensive drinking water with inflation... Nutritional foodstuffs are difficult to afford, while time after time my son and I are glad to have good food, always expensive room-bathroom, and currently cemented floor to sleep on it for the overpayment.
Cargill dumped grain into Somalia at 1/6th the local price thereby driving out the farmers that controlled Mogadishu. that's how U.S. Imperialism uses food as a weapon.
Ehm theres a grain (pun intentet) of truth in that somehow,let me explain.
If countries continue to supply needed goods and food to Africa they will never be able to start their own business. Noone can compete with free.
Saying that USA is using it as a weapon is BS.
What should be done is giving Africans contacts in the rest of the world so they will be able to export their manufactured goods. Eventually paying for the shipment for a period of time would be a good help.
@@101GM8 in this case there is some truth to it, Africa doesn’t need charity- it needs investment. It needs technology, more accessible educational institutions, better opportunities and infrastructure to conduct life with few impediments.
Am i an human being?
🤔 Lets see...
I remember somalia had a history of developed country I don't now why they facing this situation they keep dying for food I hope those guys raise up again
Is there any link between hunger and West humanitarian interventions? Which comes first?
It's like the line from Mary Poppins; "What do you get when you feed the birds?", "More birds." The population of Somalia has increased 4.5x in 50 years.
I see a bunch of comments about having less children:
They have so many kids because they need to, they don’t have much electricity and good infrastructure, so they resort to human labor- that requires lots of children.
Also so many of the kids die, they have lots of kids as an insurance. So sad.
Also no birth control and it’s a patriarchal culture.
and because they're abused in some cases. a lot of African nations have serious sexual violence problems.
nonsense, they could have 2 or 3 kids instead of 6 or 7
If they educated their daughters, rather than selling them as brides while still children, the birthrate could be brought down. They don't need to have so many children, they are a drain on the family's resources, not a help.
Poverty and islam. What a mess.
Africa must save rest of the world. Try to find out other way.
Which language is that I'm Somali and can't understand it
