"Over 2.7 million Zimbabweans are in need due to prolonged dry spells resulting in complete crop failure in many areas. Government indications show that 26% of people in rural areas will have a cereal shortage, further worsening a dire hunger crisis there. The situation is compounded by economic stress and livestock losses even as the country reels from a cholera outbreak that led to over 560 fatalities. Livestock diseases and water scarcity have worsened this situation.

In Zambia, the drought has impacted 9.8 million people. Delayed rains and wilting crops led to a national disaster declaration in February. Food prices surged 45%, worsening hunger. 84 districts in 8 provinces are affected, impacting 14.8 million. A March assessment found alarming food insecurity: 76% with limited food stocks, 5.7% with none, and 75.7% resorting to severe coping mechanisms. Crop damage is 50-90%, and water scarcity has forced 30% to seek alternative sources. At the same time over 740 people have succumbed to Cholera in what has been identified as the deadliest outbreak the country has experienced."

Actually, keep yapping away if it gets us the results we want and you clearly don't want. Is there a little switch inside your head that's turned to overload? Thats a famous song lyric. Maybe you can make better use of your time trying to see if you can find the specific song and group that sang it.

Mako88sb, That could take somebody in particular back to 1979 The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload and nobody's gonna go to school today she's gonna make them stay at home And daddy doesn't undertand it, he always said she was good as gold And they can see no reason 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be sho, woe, woe, woe, woewn (Tell me

Yes, I did change one word so it wouldn't be too easy. Such a great song that I haven't heard in probably 20 years but all of a sudden that line popped into my head while scanning over bugshits latest drivel. Funny how the mind works sometimes.
