Yeap, the government are at it again, giving away money that we can ill afford. £23m to the relief effort in Somalia. The US has given half that and countries like Germany, just £3m. Some bloke from the International Development Agency has said that the UK is leading the way, and other countries are not doing enough.
While you cannot blame anyone for the drought, let's just look at Somalia shall we.................civil war for god knows how long, religious extremists (well, probably a gang or tribe using religion as an excuse) trying to take over, no effective government since the year dot..............I am not saying that we shouldn't help people, but why do we have to be giving so much, and should we not be doing more to prevent the drought having such a devastating effect.
