There is a real risk that multiple famines will be declared this year - and 2023 could be even worse.
We need strong political and private sector leadership for a coordinated multilateral response.
We cannot accept mass hunger and starvation in the 21st century.
@goodreads Tonight I'm starting "Interview with history" written by the veteran journalist Oriana Fallaci. It contains her interviews with era defining politicians like Henry Kissinger, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Yasser Arafat and others who have reshaped our world at least to some extent.
