Emily's Worldview

Right now, Tanzania is facing a severe food crisis and power shortages. The short rains failed last August, after I left. Electricity is rationed to about 6 hours per day in the capital, the prices of staple foods have doubled in the last month, up to 10 million of the country's 35 million people will need food aid in the coming months, and the amount of water behind the major dam only provides half the electricity that the nation needs. It's a crisis that no one can manage and that affects all the people in Tanzania, from the industrialists to the pastoralists to the Seventh Day Adventists

I guess the deepening misery of one of the world's poorest countries is not interesting to America's news networks.
