Droughts in Africa

The East African drought has now been running for five years, population is decreasing along with food, resources and livestock. In other words, East Africa is slowly but surely dying away. It is the worst drought Africa has seen in a long time. This story has even been covered by overseas newspapers such as The Washington Times and VOA (Voice of America) therefore indicating this is a serious matter right? So why is it that not one of these other countries, writing about OUR issues, are actually helping Africa?
I admire the fact that the first world countries are taking interest in Africa but we don’t need publicity but rather unselfish, compassionate financial aids. I find it very unfair that these countries feel that they have the right to write about such issues and not try their utmost to save the lives of the children that are the future of this world. I agree with the fact that it is not America’s responsibility to keep Africa alive but if we all work together and become one, poverty and crime levels will drop as there will an even distribution of wealth and health.
It offends me that other countries ‘feel sorry’ for Africa, instead of actually helping the poor people. It just shows how selfish and inconsiderate our world has become. So yes all these articles have angered me due to one fact, if writers can take the time to research and write an article on Africa why have none of them tried to help out in some way?
