Some 250,000 People Died In The Southern Somalia Famine Of 201112, Which Also Displaced And Destroyed The Livelihoods Of Hundreds Of Thousands More. Yet This Crisis Had Been Predicted Nearly A Year Earlier. The Harshest Drought In Somalia'S Recent History Coincided With A Global Spike In Food Prices, Hitting This Arid, Importdependent Country Hard. The Policies Of Alshabaab, A Militant Islamist Group That Controlled Southern Somalia, Exacerbated An Already Difficult Situation, Barring Most Humanitarian Assistance, While The Donor'S Counterterrorism Policies Criminalized Any Aid Falling Into Their Hands. A Major Disaster Resulted From The Production And Market Failures Precipitated By The Drought And Food Price Crisis, While The Famine Itself Was The Result Of The Failure To Quickly Respond To These Events And Was Thus Largely Humanmade. This Book Analyses The Famine: The Tradeoffs Between Competing Policy Priorities That Led To It, The Collective Failure In Response, And How Those Affected By It Attempted To Protect Themselves And Their Livelihoods. It Also Examines The Humanitarian Response, Including Actors That Had Not Previously Been Particularly Visible In Somalia From Turkey, The Middle East, And Islamic Charities Worldwide.
