Having just finished a video on the drought in East Africa, I was drawn to this article by Anver Versi:
Once again Africa’s starving will stalk television sets across the world as the drought in northern Kenya and the Horn bites in earnest. Once again charitable organisations will issue heartrending appeals for funds and once again the mute beseeching in the bewildered eyes of children will persuade the compassionate among us to put our hands in our pockets.
