Niger Update

@ 07:52 PM (94 months, 29 days ago)

An Associated Press article provides a heartbreaking update on the hunger crisis in Niger.

Many mothers who cannot afford to feed their children, bring them to feeding centers.  The article reports that some market stalls are filled with unaffordable food.

For all of this Administration's talk about its compassion, why are they so eerily silent on the crisis in Niger?  I guess their only concern is whether Niger walked down the yellowcake road with Iraq.  Hungry children?  Who cares!
