The World Food Program \u00a0WFP has \u00a0wrongly\u00a0believed\u00a0that \u00a0the so called famine assurance is \u00a0 the way out from drastic famine in\u00a0Ethiopia. In contrary to Band Aid’s \u00a0mid 80’s\u00a0unsuccessful\u00a0direct aid\u00a0approach,\u00a0\u00a0 WFP \u00a0 engaged a \u00a0business\u00a0type\u00a0marketing\u00a0methodology by\u00a0Insuring against hunger \u00a0(IAH). This \u00a0supposedly\u00a0\u00a0in turn\u00a0eradicate \u00a0 \u00a0 famine \u00a0from the the Horn of Africa nation by \u00a0stopping\u00a0\u00a0 from arriving chronically \u00a0by\u00a0\u00a0taking out weather insurance policies on behalf of \u00a0starving subsistence farmers.” \u00a0 Even weather in the horn of Africa is\u00a0impressible.\u00a0WFP wrongly advocates this will end the ad hoc nature of aid thus working\u00a0against\u00a0 a \u00a0government\u00a0\u00a0merely\u00a0surviving\u00a0through famine aid even from its inception in \u00a0the famine camp during struggle in 1980’s.<\/p>\n

Insuring against hunger \u00a0(IAH) is a timely profit making \u00a0on the name of \u00a0food Aid in Ethiopia. Starting \u00a0 from Band Aid\u00a0 who\u00a0 did not try to make money on the name of the starving in Ethiopia ? And \u00a0IAH will not be a new phenomenon for the Ethiopian starving dry bones.\u00a0 According to IAH group ,\u00a0 the program is effective\u00a0 by indexing the assurance of famine to the Ethiopian \u00a0weather variations which turn\u00a0 triggers\u00a0 the so called\u00a0 payouts for the starving population. \u00a0Since\u00a0 the most destructive variance occurs early in the growing season, the so call assurance money making \u00a0assessment can take place well before the harvest how much money its will make. \u00a0As the confirmed by IAH itself \u00a0 the pastorals are not assured since there\u00a0 is no predictable rain fall in the pastoral areas that is the reason given by the IAH. The truth is that the\u00a0 pastorals does not own land and they are nomadic types,thus one could not grab their land in case of a catastrophe or non payment. While the settled ones\u00a0 IAH could easily take \u00a0 over their land \u00a0and make them a slave worker in their won farms with the help of \u00a0dictatorial\u00a0regime of Melese Zenawie . The so called promise for the future ” remote sensing of vegetation to include pastoral areas ” is just an empty promise. It has been over 5 years now nothing has been done (2005). The pilot IAH has a tribal and regional profile in Ethiopia, since it has been\u00a0 selectively done in region 1 the region of the ruling\u00a0 dictator.<\/span><\/p>\n [media id=73 width=320 height=240]<\/p>\n <\/span>Can commercial practices like risk management prevent famine? This the Question to the \u00a0new manager of the World Food Program \u00a0who thinks so and is turning to business to revolutionize aid, we are\u00a0addressing\u00a0?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n One thing is sure that as we have\u00a0 seen in the last three governments in (Imperial, Communist, Irridentist) type of government in Ethiopia \u00a0 famine <\/span>has \u00a0struck <\/span> and is striking <\/span> <\/span> and will strike <\/span>a Ethiopia unfortunately. As consequence the Wold Bank and\u00a0 WFP\u00a0 better index not on the weather but on the famine itself, \u00a0if IAH group are\u00a0 investing to make money in Ethiopa. \u00a0So the IAH will be sure of its bit. The assurance company will be well assured then rather than indexing the climate, \u00a0since the weather is not the problem in Ethiopia today. There is ample of rain but there is still famine.<\/span><\/p>\n The only way to\u00a0eradicate\u00a0the Ethiopian famine is to establish a democratic system of government with a free press and democratic\u00a0uncorrupted\u00a0institutions as proposed by\u00a0 Nobel Prize laureate Amartya Sen. This is the only way out with out we have to stop\u00a0 betting around the bush and all effort to stop famine in Abyssinia is a nightmare with a dictator on power.<\/span> <\/strong> The theory set by Amartya Sen is the best solution for Ethiopia:_ \u201cIt is, thus, not at all astonishing that no substantial famine has ever occurred in any independent country with a democratic form ofgovernment and a relatively free press. Large famines have occurred in authoritarian colonial regimes (as in British India), in repressive military regimes (as in Ethiopia or Sudan in recent decades), and in one-party states (as in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, in China during 1958-61, in Cambodia in the 1970s, or in North Korea in very recent years). Even though the proportion of the national population that is affected by a famine rarely exceeds 10 per cent, which may be electorally unimportant, yet public discussion of the nature of the calamity can make it a powerful political issue.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [media id=74 width=320 height=240]<\/p>\n [media id=75 width=320 height=240] 2007<\/p>\n [media id=76 width=320 height=240]2010<\/p>\n media id=76 width=320 height=240]<\/p>\n httpvhd:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UKY0w1EKe4E&feature=player_embedded \u00a0 \u00a0 1<\/p>\n httpvhd:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IVAFFKoqZOw&feature=player_embedded \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2<\/p>\n Academics call for climate insurance role at Mexico Summit\u00a0…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n5 years after IAH in 2010 over over <\/span> 14 million people in Ethiopia are going hungry<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
