08.05.2012 15 million at risk in the Sahel food crisis: urgent help is needed now
In the Sahel region of West Africa, families are facing a grim reality. A food crisis is now threatening more than 15 miillion people. Without help they won't get enough to eat.
Drought, poor harvets, and high prices in the market are part of the problem -- and so is poverty. It forces farmers and herders to make impossible choices: If they sell their tools and livestock now, to get money to get food, then how will they make a living later when the rains return?

This crisis has been deepened by the conflict in Mali sparked by the proliferation of arms from Libya in the wake of the fall of Colonel Gadhafi. Some 200,000 Malians have fled from the fighting, which engulfed the whole of Northern Mali from January to March this year.

19.04.2012 Oxfam and partners at AWID: a quest and hunger for change
The city of Istanbul, Turkey is no stranger to the word ‘’transformation’’ having served as a capital for many empires throughout history from the Roman to the Byzantine, to the Latin and then finally the Ottoman Empire.
