Somali children from southern Somalia play on tree branches near a destroyed building in Mogadishu, Somalia, on Wednesday, Aug. 17. The World Food Program said Saturday that it is expanding its food distribution efforts in famine-struck Somalia, where the U.N. estimates that only 20 percent of people needing aid are getting it.

Bluntly put ... it is disgusting how a news story gets legs when people are dying. The boring predictions about drought and famine get no coverage, and leadership basically takes its salaries and comfortable life and is always surprised when there is a crisis. The socio-economic system, governance, leadership, media, capital markets, etc are dysfunctional and leaving the bottom billions of people in dire straights. Disgusting
