Well, they tried, at least and all but one final issue resolved but in the end nothing. Sucks!! That means another year or so before there's another chance. There's no "one" to blame either it's everyone's fault, France is usually a primary culprit but this time everyone screwed the pooch.

Your right it won't help the food crisis but even if everything had gone right it wouldn't have improved internal distribution which is the core of the problem in many areas.

When you have one large group of people in power in a country who covertly or not so covertly "want" to starve out and kill off another group and a world community who tip toes around the issue of the sacred rights of sovern nations, cause their scared to death that they might look like they're some kind of dasterdly aggressor of something, there isn't a whole lot you can do for them. The U.N. did, unanimously, pass legislation allowing legitimate action (military) against nations who are obviously committing genocide or stupidly does not take care of their own but we all know how that kind of thing goes.
