1992 famine in Somalia

The 1992 famine in Somalia resulted from a severe drought and devastation caused by warring factions in southern Somalia, primarily the Somali National Front, in the fertile inter-riverine breadbasket between the Jubba and Shebelle rivers. The resulting famine primarily affected residents living in the riverine area, predominantly in Bay Region, and those internally displaced by the civil war. Quotes We're in the middle of a famine now and people are dying in large numbers. Quite frankly, it's too late. We just left them to tear themselves to pieces. We were a year and a half too late. This is a very serious lesson for the future. External link Category:History of Somalia Category:Disasters in Africa
