- Madagascar is on the brink of famine because of its worst drought in 40 years. And a big reason for that is climate change. #AJStartHere explains.

#MadagascarDrought #MadagascarFoodCrisis #StartHere
Whilst climate change is very real, something not talked about here is the incessant deforestation of Madagascar since the 70s, leading to increasing dersertification. The country has lost about 80% of its original forests and the primary forest now covers only about 12% of the country.
Thank you for informing us about such important issues. Local media do not even bother to mention.
I’ll appreciate if you can do a video on the Coup in Mali and Ginuea and how it impact the concept of Democracy in the Sub-regions
It would be nice to expose the level of corruption in Africa that warrants coups again to bring some sanity to the continent of Africa. Corruption is the reason why Madagascans are suffering today...responsible government would have done something long ago to avoid this catastrophe. Of the UAE can provide water for its millions of inhabitants, even though they live in a desert, what's the excuse of African leaders. Military members should protect the Constitutions of their countries again across Africa.
Very true
it really is an inequality issue in addition to an environmental one.
the ones who have produced the most emissions are the least affected and have the most resources to survive this, whereas the ones who get the brunt of the impact are the poorer ones who produced the least emissions and have the fewest resources to survive
"The great famine which I sense approaching
Will often turn up in various places, then become universal:
It will be so vast and long lasting that
People will grab roots from the trees and children from the breast"
--Michele de Nostradamus 1556AD
I have reserved the ticket to flight to Madagascar last year, which was cancelled because of Covid-19.
I've been waiting for this for so long thank you for letting the world know
You can record them... but you cant feed them!?
Yes brother
If only 5% of Al Jazeera profit would be spend on them hunger could be reduced in this part of the world.
America, its allies and European countries can waste money on war and weapons, but they will not do anything good for these countries, but they also ruined a good number of countries by pushing them into the fire of war for their own interests. , and then come on news channels and pretend, as if they are very worried about them.
True
It is NOT the job of media to intervene in anything!
We've seen this all before. We held huge pop concerts and raised millions upon millions for these starving people, we raised enough money that we were told these people would all receive running water and would never need to worry about water again. We, the people of nations, did that, and what a HUGE lie it was. It seems nothing was done, nothing at all, no running water, and no food, or crops, just millions upon millions, disappeared. My whole life I have lived with adverts asking for £5 - £30 a month in charity for running water in Africa. That's 50 years now, and still nothing changes, but billions has been taken in by these apparent charities. I suggest you go after all those we know who sit with all the wealth from their ill-gotten gains, the people that hide behind these Media outlets, like Al Jazeera.
No matter how much food or money you give it will never be enough. Give a man a fish and he will eat for just one day.
This is heartbreaking
Why isn't there leaders calling for some diselanation equipment so thay can have water to drink and grow food????
Proud to be Indian who send 1000 tons of rice in recent months 💯
Shut up!
Your Government can't even Provide Enough Oxygen for its own People
I'm.. 50 a.n.d m.y. husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no dept's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.
I'm a young dad, I'm really glad to hear your story it inspires me.
What is fire movement please.?
@@mylesginvestment5033 Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
@@Amanda-rs6pd Thanks for replying I will read more about fire movement.
@Altcoin Daily I can share some that helped me.
1:plan towards it.
2:be frugal and minimal on spending.
3:spend your money on investment.
4:chose your trade analys wisely.
5:invest with a professional trader like Mr Dennis my trade analyst
This is an irony. USA destroyed tons of potatoes last year and another part of the world are having famine.
Western Sahara please. These people need help against Morocco’s abuse of freedom of speech and movement.
Are you Touareg
Could you also Producer a Clip about the Situation of Christians unser Taliban rule in Afghanistan??
This would bei very interesting..
Thanks
Owesome report. How many times do you post a video
Appreciate your coverage.
Very professional.
It is nice to symathize..
Its another to support
those willing to go and help
Families who live there.
"Madagascar is among the world's poorest countries. As such, people's day-to-day survival is dependent upon natural resource use. They must live off the land that surrounds them, making use of whatever resources they can find. Their poverty costs the country and the world through the loss of the island's endemic biodiversity. Madagascar's major environmental problems include: Deforestation and habitat destruction; Agricultural fires; Erosion and soil degradation; Over exploitation of living resources including hunting and over-collection of species from the wild; Introduction of alien species."
Yeah, let's just call it "global warming". More disingenuous and deceptive agenda driven propaganda.
Why is SADC not doing anything about this?
We have hungry people in usa .first feed our people then worry about other country.
Your point is called selfishness, wait until the next hurricane, so you experience what hardship means
the usa starves its own on purpose. it is a diabolical monstrosity
That's artificial scarcity, how can the richest nation on earth have starving people?.
Africa from space can be quite deceiving.
''''''''''''''Lets pray those people who haven't food for eating in lockdown and pray for Corona patient ❤🧡❤❤''''''''''''''
Cloud-seeding must be introduced in Madagascar
Soon this will be everywhere! Without immediate action the food and water crisis will worsen everywhere, without predictable weather you can't farm! The Holocene provided us with season's and crops! We can't eat money or drink it! 💚🌷
I know oneday this planet back to zero people rigth now you can enjoy your self
Or help other people even respect human being
Where is the United Nations? WFP? FAO? Amnest International?? Qatar Foundation? This is so sad to see and we need to help each other as humans. May ALLAH help these people affected by the famine. My prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤲
The origin of the cane toad and the island of Madagascar? The biggest island in Africa?
I understand that other countries' actions are causing the major events causing the conditions of living in Southern Madagascar. But what about their own government? Think about it, even if a private company went there to help reverse this famine by investing in irrigation systems, are they going to afford the food? The state has high levels of illiteracy and people may not be able do anything in the form of formal jobs.
Nonetheless, right now, these people need help alongside good governance and foreign aid.
Foreign aid already allowed them to have 10 kids that they can’t feed giving them more foreign will allow them to have 15 kids they can’t feed.
@@npc2480 The average number of children per woman in Madagascar is about four. Infant mortality rate there is about five or six times higher than in the West. The number of children people have is hugely influenced by how wealthy they are - richer people mean fewer kids. We can debate whether the current model of foreign aid works for these people (my view: it doesn't) but fundamentally, your logic is backwards and your numbers are silly.
We have Covax but we don´t have Foodax.
Would they be able to fish those waters? Maybe not have 6 children?
🤡🤡🤡
Governments that can have an obligation to help
No they don't.
nice info
let's 👏 talk 👏 about 👏 madagscar 👏 and 👏 why 👏 people 👏 there 👏 are 👏 starving
seriously why they always put the clapping music in the beginning of videos about horrible events?
What about foreign aid all the governments to help in these cases it a price on how much they get plus donations
People will suffer because of people
I'm depressed due to this 🙏
😄
Its a mmater of shame for all billionaires and wealthy class of our society that people are losing their lives from starvation and thet brutal class just thinking about how to live in space etc etc... shame on elion mosk, zekburg, and Gates and so many others.
Then why don't other parts of Madagascar help?
They don't have that much of a surplus themselves.
I wonder if they took food and seeds to eat and plant
I wonder could IMF be involved
Please make videos on Nagaland, Baluchistan, Khalistan, and Kurdistan.
It’s not global warming. Can they leave and trek to another part of the lands? This lady is still getting her hair done colored nails manicured and a healthy good meal then goes on this interview and speaks 😑
Yeah cause there isn't war and corruption in the damb Country?? If you can't afford bread how can you afford to Trek anywhere?? You die either way! You won't realize till your grandkids and yourself are climate refugees!😒
Moving to the other part of the island is predicated on the assumption that you have any arable land you own waiting for you on the other side. These people clearly don't. Stop trying to downplay the dire situation famine victims are going through.
They like to introduce terms like these to play with people's minds. And try to be the hero of the day
@@so.marley It's called science and these terms been around since the 80's!😆
@@dividedconquered3784 It's so frustrating to have people watch this video, see a cited IPCC report, and still deny everything. Apparently not trying to be a "sheep" comes with being a sheep to conspiracy theories instead.
No till farming
Talk about it
Guys which ever religions u believe pls pray to god for madagaskar
If that Lady wasn't here I wouldn't know that this is happening
It won't be pretty...all world's leaders should and must put their ideology differences behind otherwise we humanity are only the losers!!!
Sandra is absolutely stunning
Why are we allowed to let this happen, people should not be staving in 2021 my government in Australia should hang their heads in shame for not helping
Unless Madagascar can bring down its corruption to almost nothing, maybe it needs the West’s help with that, then what developed country is going to want to offer aid to them? Where are those money and supplies going? Someone’s pocket.
They are speaking French that's why
For those who don't believe in climate change, live in Madagascar.
Can you please make video in CHRISTIANIZATION in NEPAL
💗💗💗 Where is UNICEF ,red cross ,nations to help
Imagine a solar flare as in 1859 that wiped out the telegraph system.
yeah nepalii
im gonna guess: they dont have food
Germany elections
PlSSSSSS
I don't understand it at all
Greta Thunberg can speak til her face turn blue. But it's not going to change so much as the damaged is too much already.
When life gives 100 reasons to cry 😢 ShOw liFe 1000 reasons to smiling 😃,.
this is bad
I don't know why West don't take credit for climate change, 😂 like they are proud of industrialisation.
If they are starving and no energy, how come they are having non stop children.
They've only been in famine for two years or so.
@@italktoomuch6442 they have newborn children in their arms
Its time to move
So Shameful for Christians World and specially for Europe 💶😥
Maybe if their Allah would send them water, or their fellow Muslism would help them, but no they don't even help countries near them like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
@@AlexS-oj8qf they aren’t even Islamic
🌹🌹🌹🌹💕
This issue has nothing to do with global warming, the situation in Madagascar is more complicated than you think..
There's any number of things going on, and yes, it's a hugely complicated situation. But climate change makes everything worse. It amplifies problems and conflicts that are already there. But yeah, the biggest environmental factor there is probably local deforestation.
Despite all the economic crisis this is the right time to start up an investment
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr muller
@Wayne Johnson yeah
My first Investment with Mr David muller earned me profits of over $24,320 US dollars and ever since then he has Been delivering
He's obviously the best I invested 2000USD with him and in 9 days I made a profit of 9101USD
His success stories are everywhere 😱
Ya.ll are so late on this started last year bahahahahah
🤭😭😭
🙂
My news is the same still
Nothing new
🔥💪🔥
How can i help?
Tell them stop whelp or anticonception method is the best way
over populated....under fed.... under educated.... how about birth control and investment in you agriculture.....
the walking reporter is driving me nuts
Your presentation is outstanding
How to protect the environment?
Don't have baby's
So why aren’t we talking about geo engineering & cloud seeding around these conversations... I mean since we’ve had the tech sitting in the back shed since the 60’s might as well start using it publicly,
Maybe that would calm down the climate change debate...
There’s a large chicken and the egg conversation there for those who haven’t been aware.
Cant get money to siphon off if we solve the problem...
u cannot stop something that's been happening for millions of years
Because the ones that care doesn't care about the starving people of Madagascar, Haiti, sub Saharan Africa. The world still produces more the enough food to feed all the people in the world.
@@WorshipDaKing im kinda being facetious & implying a chicken & the egg conversation,
I don’t think “extreme weather” would be an issue if we started speaking publicly about what different governments are intentionally doing / learning to & about the environment / climate, I mean, it would still be an issue, but we’d atleast have an understanding of why it’s happening & how we can calm it down.
This is all being spoken of aside from the interglacial periods & history of climate on the earth because, yeah, we can’t actually reasonably do anything about it.
We can keep F*****ng each other up though.
Because of Colonialism / Imperialism. This lady is a master PROPAGANDIST.
Wtf??
@Ruvane Friebus You need to read some history bud! The EAU and the USA have long backed the DICTATORS in Africa, we have plotted so many military coups! You are foolish enough to believe America doesn't have a hand in a starving decimated land you are funny! If a land is decimated it's a tell tail sighn of the USA democracy, in other words take all the resources! 😒
@Ruvane Friebus Thank you for proving my point. I rest my case!
@Ruvane Friebus I wish the best to you! Honestly Ameica can't even help themselves, our Senate and Congress is full of greed mongers! Who is running for office now? Is there any USA backed regimes??
@Ruvane Friebus They will take though, it's a tough situation! 💚🌷 Empowering your women and education is the key!
Less food they have more baby's they make
The best digital series on youtube
Isn't there an entire continent right next to Madagascar that could provide food and supplies??????
Afica struggles with food shortages because of the historical overemphasis on export agriculture-i.e., the concentration on growing cash crops such as cocoa and coffee, rather than producing food crops for self-sufficiency. Africa became a net food importer by the mid-1970s and has yet to recover since.
@@micheltibon6552 all excuses man, its not that complicated to make sure you have enough food to feed the people within the country first. seems basic to me.
@@micheltibon6552 that's exatly the truth you can see on the market of the capital that the price of basic food is increase we export a lot but don't get benefit of it. I'm Malagasy and i can say that the climate is more warmer and the crops is decrease in quality. I think the way the country can change is how the next generation will not make the same mistake as their grandfather.songhai agriculture is a 1 of thousand solution you can make
Exactly... IDK WTF is wrong with AU...
So global warming is not a conspiracy?
Surprised Pikachu face!
it's man-made global warming that some people think is a conspiracy - if you're going to mock folks, try to make sure they aren't imaginary ;)
@@realthings5821 But why would they think global warming is a conspiracy?
@@dragosstanciu9866 People believe in gods, ghosts, aliens among us, flat earth, honest politicians, homeopathy, etc. etc.
Thinking activists are lying about climate change is relatively tame.
@@realthings5821 til loads of people die. til the existing ecologies are no longer and all the wildlife is extinct.
these morons think nothing has consequences.
@@mrtrashcompaktor1540 Those are some dark predictions you have there. Not very realistic, because you're being too extreme, but very dark. I hope for your sake that you don't believe them; I'd consider you worse off than man-made climate change deniers if you did.
Can we have a video about Mozambique and how this radical Muslim group all started
Kuddos i have not heard of this story . Now im sad
I'm just shocked God blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
famine is all over the world...some drastic but some more...in the US there are over 1 million that are food insecure...
Stop to make more children!
AU leaders should be at the forefront of bringing up climate change issues talking about Magascar's issue
AU is busy doing absolutely nothing and collecting funds from EU and UN.
Africa is going to get the full brunt of global warming but we never contributed much to it.
Our nations export raw materials that contribute to the emission of greenhouse gasses and carbon dioxide e.g Coal(South Africa) & Oil(Nigeria)
These people have only 1 skil : making baby's
Is it a coincidence that the poorest and starving countries are the ones with people having 10 kids while prosperous countries having families with 1 or 2 kids?
Overpopulation the Elephant in the room.
Wrong way round. People on average start having fewer children as they get richer. That's pretty well known. Children in wealthier countries are not needed to provide additional household income, educational opportunities for women mean more women have careers and have children later in life, there is increasing access to family planning and contraception, and increasing life expectancy means that people don't need as many children to be sure that they will survive to adulthood. In the UK in the 19th century, people had huge families (some of my ancestors had as many as ten siblings), and the vast majority of them over the age of ten or so were working in industry to help support the extended family. And since they were considered expendable by their employers and healthcare was non-existent, very few made it to adulthood. Madagascar's current number of children per woman is hovering around 4, by the way.
There is a lag between living conditions improving and family sizes getting smaller though; population growth is largest when families are still large but infant mortality has gone through the floor. But that can also bring economic advantages as you end up with a large, young, largely healthy workforce for a few decades that can really get your economy moving. Until you end up with the same problem as countries like Japan and Italy with a population of pensioners that is almost bigger than the working population.
Now, if you're talking about the environmental problem of over-consuming resources then fair enough, but you also have to acknowledge that there are more than enough resources on the planet for all of us and several billion more to have a comfortable standard of living (think of the amount of wealth you might have somewhere like Mexico, for example) but the problem is that so many resources are being consumed by the wealthier countries like the US and Europe, and so many people live in places like Madagascar which are very vulnerable to all sorts of natural problems. But the amount of resources used by people in the developing world is absolutely tiny by comparison to us.
@@italktoomuch6442 There was a study that the earth's resources are enough for 3 billion to all live in middle class standards.
There was 4.3 billion people in 1980 now we are almost 8 billion with a forecast of 10 billion in 2050.
More people need and use MORE , it's as simple as that.
I like to move it move it. I like to move it move it. I like to move it move it. U like to?
Vaccines before starving people 😔
Prince harry and Meggie should go there and do their humanitarian help...oh wait they can't because they live in montecito...
Thanks for the helpful content.
Desertification is on the way and southern inhabitants need to adopt, not get surprised . Maybe the North is becoming green. Who knows?
The UN is to blame....

I would love to understand why adults in countries like this continue to make children. Sending $ to them doesn’t answer that fact. Child abuse is the worst extreme!
why did this thoughtless comment get three likes??
Well even if we accept your logic, given they have only been in a famine for two years or so, it's still not really their fault?
For them is not child abuse.
For them they are not educated. They don't read. They don't know what is family planning. They don't wear condom, it's costs. It's all their upbringing and that's what they know. Unless u take them uproot them put them into cities. Maybe they learn this lifestyle is not helping them.
