Guardian blogs about Malawi famine

Interesting first hand account of a World Food Programme official searching out signs of the famine in Malawi.

My colleague also points out that the steady lines of people walking along the roadsides are an increasingly common sight in this part of Malawi. Most have walked tens of miles to get food from the market because they no longer have stocks of their own to fall back on.

  1. Nice article. Too bad about the troll who took over the comments.

    Hi Mike,
    I am so impressed by the effort you are making to raise awareness regarding the famine in Malawi. Do keep up the good work! I am going to talk with my daughter about an "interesting" story for her boyfriend's newly founded production company. His three partners in the company are film school graduates, two of them just completing their thesis @ USC Film School. I know my daughter & her boyfriend are deeply committed to social consciousness & world peace. Who knows what may unfold...
    Take care,
    Lynn
