核心要点
When Famine Becomes a Weapon
In 2011, Banadir Hospital in Somalia became a theater of horrors-babies with stick-thin limbs, mothers too weak to cry, children dying in corridors. The world saw what it expected: another African tragedy requiring Western rescue. But peel back the layers, and a different story emerges. This wasn't nature's cruelty-it was manufactured catastrophe. The U.S. government had weaponized food assistance, withholding aid to pressure al-Shabab militants, condemning millions to starvation in the process. The irony cuts deep: the very nations positioned as Africa's saviors had engineered its suffering. Yet beyond this manufactured crisis, something extraordinary was unfolding. Africa's economy was growing at double the global average, with some countries hitting 20% annual growth. This wasn't just about GDP figures-it represented a seismic shift in how Africans saw themselves and how the world would need to see them.
