Some sensational stories scooped off the latest issue of a free magazine:
  • The real reason for 2004's 'swarm of locusts drought' in Niger was high food prices caused by suppliers defaulting on deliveries.
  • Cheap air travel made disaster relief harder, not easier, after the Tsunami.
  • Well-organised radio stations are more effective then conventional aid in most natural disasters.
  • Smoke from cooking fires is the fourth greatest cause of death/disease in the Third World.
The magazine is the UK government's surprisingly candid and interesting Developments (quarterly, free subscription).
