2006 Horn of Africa food crisis
In 2006, an acute shortage of food affected the countries in the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia), as well as northeastern Kenya. The United Nations's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated on January 6, 2006, that more than 11 million people in these countries may be affected by an impending widespread famine, largely attributed to a severe drought, and exacerbated by military conflicts in the region.〔(Millions of people are on the brink of starvation in the Horn of Africa ), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) news release, 6 January 2006〕
==Causes==
Drought is a predictable event in the Horn of Africa, and when combined with other factors it causes conflict and terrible human misery.〔 Previous droughts in 1983–85, 1991–92 and 1998–99 swiftly reversed gradual increase in livestock and caused losses in the cattle population of up to 62%.〔 These conditions of drought, together with other factors including high cereal prices, overpopulation in the region, abandoning traditional rangeland management methods and conflict, are leading to conditions of famine.〔Sara Pantuliano and Sara Pavanello (2009) (Taking drought into account Addressing chronic vulnerability among pastoralists in the Horn of Africa ) Overseas Development Institute〕 In the present 2006 drought, claims about factors transforming drought into famine include a ban on livestock imports to markets in the Persian Gulf States, which has reduced the income of livestock-dependent farmers, further increasing food insecurity.〔(Pre-famine conditions confront Somali region ) - Reuters AlertNet〕
