    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, I stand before this House to explain the situation with regard to drought and famine ravaging our country. I, particularly, want to highlight what the Government has done and will continue to do. I stand to categorically state that if the Government had not acted with speed and organization that it has so far, this country and region would be staring at a worse crisis than it is being witnessed today. The entire Horn of Africa is afflicted by drought believed to be the most severe in more than half a century. In my statement today, I shall review the Government action to address the humanitarian crisis, the refugee’s situation and the national security. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more than 9 million people in the Horn of Africa (in six countries) now live within desperate hunger. That humanitarian crisis is compounded by high global food prices and insecurity. The situation in Somalia has also major and direct implications"
