Torrential rains and floods have forced tens of thousands of people
from their homes in the Horn of Africa.

Up to 1.8 million people have been affected by the heavy rains and more
than 80 people have died.

The floods in southern Somalia have been described as the worst for 50
years.

"Accumulated estimates from the three countries put the total number of
affected people between 1.5 million and 1.8 million," Elisabeth Byrs,
UN humanitarian afairs agency spokeswoman, said.

With David Milliband visiting drought stricken areas. I say wicked
capitalist weat as Mr Milliband who will be responable for implementing
Climate Change policy comes from a good communist party pedigree, being the
son of
Marxist theoretician Ralph Milliband. As I always say social marxist run the
country now.
