Wu Peng, director general of the Chinese foreign ministry's African affairs department, on Wednesday said Beijing was speeding up efforts to provide emergency aid to help Horn of Africa countries deal with the severe drought.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi promised emergency food aid to Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti early this year. On Wednesday, Wu said the first shipments were on the way. "Glad to know that the first batch of food aid to Ethiopia and Djibouti has been shipped out and those to Somalia and Eritrea are ready for shipment," he tweeted.

Nazanine Moshiri, International Crisis Group's senior analyst for climate and security in Africa, said the situation in the Horn of Africa was dire.

"More than 18 million people are suffering extreme hunger in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In Somalia, more than 200,000 people are facing famine. At least a thousand children have died - those are the cases we know about - millions more are severely malnourished," Moshiri said.

Relying on food aid is not a long-term solution. The only true solution is to emigrate to the EU!

Food aid is good to the extent that it keeps more people alive long enough to emigrate. It is bad to the extent that it reduces their incentive to emigrate. But the latter is the fault of the locals, not of those supplying food aid.

Zhao said that as a developing country, China had no obligation to provide official development assistance. However, he said China "has been actively participating in international development cooperation, providing development resources to UN development agencies, including food and agriculture agencies, and making positive contributions to global food security".

"China has provided more funding, sent more experts and undertaken more projects under the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organization's South-South Cooperation Programme than any other developing country," Zhao added.

Thank you, China! (And reminder: Russia is not part of the Global South.)

Ethiopian expert Richard Pankhurst is certain that by the Tang dynasty (618–907) "the Chinese were acquainted with at least part of the Horn of Africa and were trading indirectly if not directly with the Somali coast."

Relations between Somalia and China long predate the Middle Ages. Through trade, the peoples of both areas established good relations. Giraffes, zebras and incense were exported to the Ming Empire of China, which established Somali merchants as leaders in the commerce between Asia and Africa,[3] and in the process influenced the Chinese language with the Somali language and vice versa.

Now is the time to revive the friendships between the ancient civilizations:



Again, note that Russia is not even on the map! In fact, Russia didn't even exist back then! This is what we need to get back to.
