That's the question we should ask ourselves, we are not content rich countries to exploit the riches of Africa are starving his people with great blows of biofuels and speculation on grain futures ...
What about an IMF and World Bank that require farmers of Senegal or Cameroon to abandon their lands, ie say to entrust their care to eat large grain Western pretext that they are mechanized and thus more productive. In some cons may swell the shanty towns to work as laborers in Western companies, this means not providing a cheap labor market.
All these states have followed the instructions of the IMF have more crops, are now forced to buy their food at high prices, with rising short grain, a bill which increased 56% in one year, which is unbearable for these states.
The World Food Programme (WFP) feeds each year 70 million people in nearly 80 countries, has claimed $ 500 million extra to compensate for these increases in short. Her claims were too strong, and WFP has received only $ 250 million extension.
$ 500 million, yes that is a sum énOOOrme!
... It is a thousandth of that will cost the subprime crisis on banks, and it few hours of war in Iraq.
For years, African countries were used as control factor for keeping grain prices by allowing producers to sell their stocks. Today there are less and less stock, but this crisis generates huge profits, for example the French cereals have doubled their income on average in 2007 when they recorded intermediaries prodigious profits.
Thirty seven countries are threatened by food crisis, we must do even more to ask the question, we must cultivate fallow land, inflate the stock to break the bubble, and especially the means to restore his country to resume their subsistence farming.
