Locals shop for bargains in the market place in Djibouti. It is not lack of food availablity which causes malnutrition in Djibouti, but more lack of ability and means to pay for the food due to poverty and soaring food prices.
BACKGROUND
Drought conditions and high staple food prices have left approximately 441,000
people at risk of extreeme food insecurity and in urgent need of emergency food
and/or non‐food assistance through the end of 2009, according to the latest
government, United Nations, and FEWS NET estimate. Four consecutive
years of minimal rains to support pastoral and agropastoral production have left
rural and urban Djiboutians even more dependent on food imports at a time when
international commodity prices have risen steadily. Unless additional assistance is
mobilized to address extreme food insecurity, particularly in pastoral areas of the
northwest and southeast, as well as in urban areas, conditions are likely to
deteriorate further. Dry conditions have resulted in high and rising levels of acute
child malnutrition since February 2009, livestock mortality rates of 50‐70
percent nationwide, limited food availability and access, and mass migration of
households to urban areas (Djibouti City, Sankal, Assamo, and Beyadde).
Households in the rural northwest and southeast that depend heavily on livestock
for food and income have been most affected by the poor rains, though extreme
food insecurity is also present in poor, urban communities, particularly due to
increased costs for staple foods that exceed the purchasing power of poor
households. Existing food insecurity is further aggravated by high fuel prices, high
inflation, decreased remittances, border conflict with Eritrea, and a lack of sufficient
government and donor resources to assist affected populations.

You can buy everything on a myanmar market, of course also some delicious food.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

An exhibit featuring photographs and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER by Didier Lefevre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frederic Lemercier, which The Boston-Globe praises as "An inspiring, beautiful book ... The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."

OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

US is biggest manufacture of land mines. It costs $1 to manufacture a land mine and $1,000 to send people into the field to dismantle them. Most of the victims of wars are civilians, our guide told us, and the US is the only country that has refused to sign worldwide treaty to ban land mines. The exhibit was set up to show all the dangers people, on the move during a war, are likely to encounter. Behind her is a checkpoint where people often end up shot for no reason.
Princess Diana's biggest cause was eliminating land mines from warfare. One of the most maddening souvenirs of wars. Reminds me why I am a peace activist.
Some will argue that humans have always had wars and maybe men have to have something to do, but modern warfare means human and planetary anihilation so isn't the same thing at all. There were rules in the Middle Ages about how war was conducted. Citizens were not involved like this. Our high tech life has distanced us from the havoc of modern warfare so that we have to have exhibits like this to be re-aquainted with the impact of war.
