African Weather Assessment |
A severe long-term drought continued throughout southern Ethiopia,
southern Somalia, northeastern Kenya, as well as adjacent areas of
eastern Uganda and Tanzania. Drought in Somalia was characterized as the
worst in a decade (UNICEF). In all, an estimated 11 million people in
East Africa and the Horn of Africa continued to face critical food
shortages brought about in part by the continuing drought (IRIN). For
the latest African analysis and forecast, see the
Famine Early Warning System Network.
