This is just a ridiculous fantasy. There is nothing linking those countries together. Sri Lanka has political unrest. India has fascism. South Africa is still overcoming racism. Sweden is fine. People are hungry because of capitalism. No one is shutting down farms
you deluded old man
We DO know you are a dumb knob with zero sense but full of vile gunk up to your gills. You just reinforce it with each of your idiotic blurts.

War in Ukraine threatens to unleash “unprecedented wave” of global hunger and destitution, warns UN Chief
UN Global Crisis Response Group urges stability in global food and energy markets to break the vicious cycle of rising prices across the world
8 JUNE 2022, NEW YORK– More than three months since the start of the war in Ukraine, people globally are facing a cost-of-living crisis not seen in more than a generation, with escalating price shocks in the global food, energy and fertilizer markets – in a world already grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
An estimated 1.6 billion people in 94 countries are exposed to at least one dimension of the crisis, and about 1.2 billion of them live in ‘perfect-storm’ countries which are severely vulnerable to all three dimensions – food, energy and finance – of the cost-of-living crisis, according to the latest findings of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Crisis Response Group (GCRG) on food, energy and finance systems.
“For those on the ground, every day brings new bloodshed and suffering. And for people around the world, the war, together with the other crises, is threatening to unleash an unprecedented wave of hunger and destitution, leaving social and economic chaos in its wake,” warned Secretary-General António Guterres at the launch of the GCRG’s latest brief.
“Vulnerable people and vulnerable countries are already being hit hard, but make no mistake: no country or community will be left untouched by this cost-of-living crisis.”
Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, remain significantly vulnerable with one out of every two Africans in the region exposed to all three dimensions of the crisis. The Latin America and the Caribbean region is the second largest group facing the cost-of-living crisis with nearly 20 countries deeply affected.
Extreme poverty could threaten the lives and livelihoods of 2.8 million people in the Middle East and North Africa. In South Asia, which is currently experiencing crippling levels of heatwaves, 500 million people are severely exposed to the food and finance crisis. Countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are severely exposed to the energy and finance dimensions, given the importance of remittances and energy exports from Russia.
