A site with close-up photos, some graphic and sad, of crisis sites around the world. The site is amazing, and describes itself as the "web's ONLY daily magazine of uncensored news pictures online". Visit here and see.
They have a page on Niger, see here ,where there's a severe food shortage now.

However this is bizarre, the Niger president says there's no food shortage. In the very likely situation he's wrong, I say this kind of nonsense he says really reflects badly on African leaders, as it undermines their integrity. I mean, why are you denying there's a food crisis going on when hundreds of thousands of your people are starving?
