COMMENT: In the past, East African rivers and water tables were replenish every year during the 'rainy season' that was the result of the water ladened African easterly jet stream from the South Pole. The jet stream flowed north over Eastern Africa land and up to India where the Monsoons occurred. But with climate change, the jet stream shifted east over water, resulting in years of no East Africa rainy season (rivers dry all year, water tables for wells dried up).
SUMMARY: Many regions in East Africa are at risk of famine for the third time in 25 years. Twenty million people in the war-torn countries of Yemen, South Sudan, and Somalia, as well as drought-stricken neighbors like Ethiopia are at risk. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, on the crisis and relief efforts.
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
