We could help, but sadly, what's the point? Save a few tens of thousands only so they can have eight children each? Until people begin to control their sex drive this will continue to happen in Africa, India, and everywhere else.
Why do parents continue to have children that they cannot afford to feed?
Instead of food we should export doctors who can train African doctors in how to perform vasectomies.

Why dont we teach them the Western Way of doing things. Capitalism is all about feeding off our own. That way they wont be insulted by the stigma of Cannibalism.

Sadly this is a problem with the system, if there is a store full of meat just a few miles away and people are starving next to it.
In such a case either the people there must revolt against this or someone will have to send in troops to make sure the food is distributed properly.
But then you would have the whole population against you who would see these troops as oppressors in the end, very difficult to solve such a dilemma.
As weird as it sounds building a city on Mars is easier to solve than this problem.

That would be because building a city on Mars only requires flying across a vastly huge distance, adapting culture and technology to a wholly alien setting, and building a sustainable local economy - the sort of stuff we've been doing since some hairy apes decided it would be a great idea to leave sunny Africa for the chance to duke it out with angry cave bears in the tundra with nothing more than pointy sticks.
The various starving nations in Africa require only one step: beating human stupidity. Sadly, that can't be done except by accident.

Correction? Where? Someone should really make the correction incase it offends someone.

Hmm, I left the 'ia' off the end of Nigeria on the topic. I can't correct it now.
Almost didn't read this because I thought someone started a similar post and just figured the whole damn continent was starving.

I changed Nigeria to Niger in the topic heading.

It wasnt tundra when we left Africa...It was tundra after we discovered fire as a herding tool and flushed game by burning down the rainforests...
