MORE THAN NINE MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED IN CENTRAL AND EAST AFRICA:

In a new report on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Central and East Africa, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that, as of last month, there were more than nine million IDPs in that region. Nearly three quarters of them were in the greater Horn of Africa, reflecting the combined internal displacement from crises in Sudan and Somalia. The displacements are triggered mainly by intra-state conflicts and natural disasters or, in many cases, both, the report says. Scarcity of resources, limited access to land, and inconclusive peace and reconciliation processes create multiple challenges. Humnitarian response is often hampered by a lack of access, caused by ongoing conflict or high insecurity, including the targeting of humanitarian workers.

Oh yeah! Africa is fucked up , too!
