GUEST,Red Eye. Master plan for Ethiopia (13) Master plan for Ethiopia 27 May 03


Does this sound plausable.

Bob Geldolf has returned to Africa to highlight the plight of the current situation caused by a drought.

My thoughts are this:

After giving money at regular intervals to Christian Aid and the like to feed the world why don't we do this.

Build a pipe line from the mountains of Africa where water is plentiful and pump the water to the drought areas of Africa. Drought is the main cause of famine in these areas so instead of a quick fix why not try a big fix? This would provide drinking water, irrigation for crops, etc. What is the point in providing tractors and farming tools when you can't grow anything because of no water. And before anyone says that such a pipe line would be impossible to construct there exists one for oil. Or does that say it all?
