摘要

A drought had already scorched the southern edge of the Sahara desert before locusts burst out of the oases around Kidal in Mali last year, settling on cereal crops there and nearby in even more destitute Niger. As a result of a meagre harvest, the cost of millet went up by 30%, sorghum by 50% and maize 60%. In both countries, state and village granaries are low or empty. Officials in Mali's capital, Bamako, reckon that more than 4m in the two countries risk starvation, 1.1m of them in Mali. The damage locusts did to the scrub grasses on which livestock depend has been even more devastating. Hundreds of herdsmen and tens of thousands of cattle have withered and died on futile treks in search of pasture.
