#2 Sure, there may be an agenda behind the food commodities price increases. For the most part, it is that some people like to stuff their pockets with money based on any pretext. As for the population reduction conspiracy, not convinced that is the case. Yet. But there sure are people that are besotted by the idea.

There was time when Zimbabwe (or Rhodesia before) was able to produce food for a half of Africa. No mo. One may entertain the possibility that Mugabe is in cahoots with Bilderbergers.

Sarc aside... Mugabe is a population reductionist. He publicized his plan to reduce the ZimBobWe population to 600,000, from the current 2.5 million.

#4 There is supposedly a chinese saying going like 'when the fat one loses weight, the skinny one dies'; seems like I'm going to be lean and fit again, and somalis will die (or at least get even skinnier), it's a win-win situation from my point of view...

#5 I can't remember a time when the somalis WERE NOT in crisis.

#6 I think we all remember what happened in the 90's when they pulled this crap. This time let them figure it out for themselves.

#7 It's a cultural thing, crisis is just another lifestyle choice.

#8 While starvation and death by machete at puberty is not for everyone, far be it from me to condemn this unique way of embracing change.

#9 OK, but keep the crisis over there. Somalis are the bottom of the immigrant barrel.

#11 Except Uganda, where the President for Life is very accommodating towards whites and East Indians, and has seen the economy and the agricultural output of the country skyrocket. He is trying to undo the damage caused by Idi Amin's "Africa for Africans" program that took Uganda from the most promising economy in Africa to total ruin in just a few years.
