Famines And Political Unrest In Term Paper

This is not to be considered a natural famine, instead an artificial famine has taken place due to the reckless policies of the government without due consideration towards the interests of the locals. The 'inflation of the country has increased by 1700%, and is considered to be the highest in the world' (Steffen, 2005). Under such circumstances where the earning opportunities for the locals have been extremely limited, where the production of agricultural goods have halted, where the trade with international community has dropped, and the imports to the country are being solely targeted for the fulfillment of the needs of the state and government, the people have been left in extreme critical situation. The political chaos were expected, and several attempts have been staged for the removal of the government, the government has been attacked by the people, but in either ways the might of the people has residual as compare to the powers and resources owned by the government (Peter, 2002). The army of the country was previously accountable for the murder of more than twenty thousand locals; therefore the locals can not rely on the army for support and assistance. The international aid being provided to the country has been misused by the government and army, therefore worst kind of famine has been artificially developed by the state, and no one is there to account for the murder of thousands, the suicide figures of the country has rose significantly higher than the world wide pattern.
