Drought conditions in eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya and Somalia have led the UN to warn that some 22 million people could be at risk of starvation. In Somalia, the rainfall in the March to May season was the lowest in the last six decades. But measurements of soil moisture also show how in some countries, such as South Sudan, Mauritania and Senegal, there has been severe flooding. Many parts of southern Africa have also experienced much higher than normal levels of rainfall. Can Africa protect itself against drought/famine without depending on external aids ?
