Instead of lobbying rich countries for financial help. Resources and energies would be better placed in trying to get the World Bank to print the money and pay for experts to help these people feed themselves. What are they more afraid of: inflation or death!
People have been starving in North Africa/Sudan/Dafur for the past 20 years that I know of. Why don't they move these people to a country in which they can grow their own food, be free from civil war and corupt governments.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of factors that interfere with humanitarian assistance to the ravages of starvation in North Africa. One is droughts brought on by on by global warming. This changes the ability of the region to produce edible products, and destroys the local ecosystem. Another factor is the political chaos and genocide in some areas that make it difficult for humanitarian workers to provide help. One more factor is the growing population of the area despite the unrest and the atrocious mortality rate. This could be abated by proper education, but the absurd US policy is abstinence! Finally, the region either does not have the all-important black gold, oil -- or the region is too unstable to access it. It is a sad situation when so many people are at the lowest point of destitution while gluttons in the US and other western countries live in huge homes adorned with all amenities while complaining of obesity. Perhaps McDonald's should open outlets in Darfur, and be given protection by US or UN or AU troups, while the people are given coupons to purchase food from McDonald's.

Because its not econimically viable or so the richer states in the world claim!
The other drama is as soon as you set a country on its feet in africa some numpty gets jeleous and takes over.
I think its a balance between both the richer nations of the world helping them and them helpying themselves.

Why do people who are starving and have no prospects for ending their own plight have children?
