Eritrea is not even colored green. Eritrea is the small country above Ethiopia and Djibouti. -- Revolución ( talk) 22:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
The language is currently is bit loose. There are differences between "food crisis" and "famine", per famine scales. The linked FAO report states that it is an "imminent famine", which is not a famine. Is any organization knowledgeable about the technical differences calling it a famine? - Banyan Tree 14:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Someone should clarify, when they put part of the blame for this on the colonial period, that Ethiopia was never a colony. Only Italy ever wanted to colonize Ethiopia, and they failed both times they attempted to do so. I know European colonial powers, are all a nice scapegoat, but perhaps it would be more correct to point to the Marxist revolts destroying the economy of this area. Not Europeans were already gone. - Kyujuni
---In "Ethiopia," How do you know that a certain 2 million people "require" humanitarian assistance? This doesn't seem like a fact. If it is some kind of classification, please explain it, the way you did with the other country sections.
---You say " Gulf States" but then make absolutely no distinction to whether you mean the US Gulf States or the Persian Gulf States. (granted, you probably mean the Persian Gulf, but still it's ambiguous)

i agree that people should click on the links for depth, but IMHO the very brief definitions are also necessary, because people tend to think "drought=famine", without realising that there is a step in between. If there's no explanation, then IMHO the average reader will not understand the need to talk about a drought being transformed in to a famine. Why talk about transformation if they are the same thing? This is why IMHO we need brief reminders of why they are not the same thing. Dry weather does not necessarily mean people die of starvation. Failure to produce food does not necessarily mean dying of starvation: i don't produce food myself, yet i'm not starving. Boud 20:11, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
This article hasn't been substantially updated in months. Haven't there been any significant developments in that time? Thanks.-- Pharos 22:29, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure the title of this article, and possibly the whole premise of this article, is correct. It seems to me like this article is simply a compilation of food crises affecting four Horn of Africa countries rather than something specific to 2006 or something that's suddenly stricken the region. Since this article has been relatively unchanged since January 2006 it seems to me like a reevaluation of its value must be undertaken. PBP ( talk) 17:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
