Lets stop reporting on famines in sub-saharan Africa, then. It is a fucking desert people. You cannot grow food in the desert. You choose to live in a desert, you will die unless you can afford to have your water or food imported. Those living in sub-saharan Africa cannot. Hence it is expected they will die. No need to report on it.
