Quoting from this site:
East Africa’s prolonged drought has dried up rivers in Tanzania and left some 3.7m people on the verge of starvation, with much of the country experiencing daytime power cuts as hydroelectric plants are short of water.
You haven’t even heard about this, have you? It wasn’t in any of the headlines I’ve been scanning. I was just wandering looking for something interesting for the linkblog.
This is on the BBC site, but it wasn’t a headline. Neither did CNN or Fox notice. But I could have read what Jessica Simpson thinks of President Bush, had I cared to look.
