While humanitarian aid is increasingly limited, the country is soon facing a wave of cruel hunger.
A recent article in the digital African edition of Forbes magazine (in French) made me think how cruel is the existence for the people in South Sudan. In addition to suffering a long fratricidal war, displacement, epidemics, lack of resources and a huge economic crisis, people are also facing one of the worst agonies for human being: hunger.
UN agencies warn that about 3 million people, a quarter of the local population, are “in urgent need of food assistance” and that 40,000 are already “on the brink of catastrophe.” What is left after these figures? If we increase them more, which is quite likely, there will be death, which is the final result of all this nonsense.
How long must we wait to rethink the current world order and confront deeper the crisis, not only in South Sudan, but also in so many other parts of the world where there is the barbarity of some selfish policies and dehumanized market?
