Imagine not having enough food to eat. Imagine having to share a single cob of corn with your neighbours. As Canadians, we do not have to deal with that issue on a day to day basis, however, there are some places in the world where they are far worse off than we are. One of these places being Sudan.

Sudan is coming out of the longest civil war in African history as i mentioned in my previous post, which could be a major reason for the food crisis that they are experiencing right now. The Sudanese government has called there food crisis a "state of emergency." 

The issue is that they cannot grow anything simply due to the fact that the environment and the weather will not allow it. The main crop grown in Sudan is grain, and the rain came to spread out and far to hard for the successful growth of that crop. 

Sudanese officials say that it is the worst crop growth since the year 1988, and in that year hundreds of thousands of people perished due to malnourishment, there simply isn't enough food to go around. Nations surrounding Sudan have lost interest in providing aid to them as it seems as though they cannot help themselves.
