The Guardian view on famine: sitting by as disaster unfolds | Editorial

Posted: 23 Feb 2017 11:45 AM PST

Millions face starvation, but the world is turning away. We are too late to prevent this severe food crisis – but we can and must act now to save lives

How can a disaster be unprecedented and yet also entirely predictable and preventable? And how can it be that, when such a catastrophe can be halted, we still fail to do so? That is the situation now unfolding across four countries, where 20 million people may starve to death within six months. The first famine recorded worldwide in six years has already been declared in part of South Sudan. Yemen, northern Nigeria and Somalia are also on the brink, according to the Famine Early Warning System, which says global hunger levels are at their highest for decades.

In the past, famine was often misunderstood as an inadequate food supply. Now we have grasped that – notwithstanding the alarming implications of a soaring global population, climate change and the effects of current farming practices – the key question is who can access food. People die because of disintegrating governments as well as poor rains. In each of the current cases, the problem has complex roots, but the striking common thread is conflict: the impact of jihadist group Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, the civil war in South Sudan and a war – fuelled in part by British and US bombs – that has destroyed and paralysed Yemen's ports, to devastating effect in a country which imported 90% of its food. In Somalia, the primary immediate cause is drought, but decades of conflict have left it vulnerable.

Posted: 23 Feb 2017 09:00 PM PST

In Rudong, where a third of the population is over 60, a university for older people is one solution to a changing demographic

It has been dubbed the "grey wall of China", a demographic shift so big you can almost see it from space.

The world's most populous country is getting old. Plummeting birthrates, the result of the much-loathed one-child policy, and dramatically improved life expectancy mean that by 2050 more than a quarter of China's population – almost 500 million people – will be over 65.

North Korea's use of nerve agent in murder sends a deliberate signal to foes

Posted: 23 Feb 2017 08:04 PM PST

Kim Jong-un's regime claims not to possess any chemical weapons, but the use of VX nerve agent to kill Kim Jong-nam could be designed to deter defectors

The use of one of the world's most potent chemical weapons, VX, to kill Kim Jong-nam, sends a powerful message to the rivals and enemies of his half-brother and likely murderer, the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un.

It suggests that it was far more important to make absolutely sure the target was killed, than to try to cover up Pyongyang's tracks. The brutal killing in public in an international airport will be chilling to any present or future defectors.

What is the VX nerve agent that killed North Korean Kim Jong-nam?

The battle for Mosul in maps

Posted: 23 Feb 2017 04:09 AM PST

Four months after the start of the operation to take back Iraq's second city from Islamic State, we map the progress of the coalition forces

In June 2014, when the leader of Isis, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, declared a global caliphate, he did it from Mosul, Iraq's second city. Isis rapidly expanded its territory in Iraq and Syria throughout that year, but has since been gradually pushed back, partly due to US-led airstrikes. Losing Mosul now could spell the end of the jihadi group's ability to control large swaths of Iraq.
