Nu skal de hvide have dårlig samvittighed igen

Jeg har før her på bloggen berettet om den voksende hungersnød i Niger, hvordan regeringen i landet nægter at uddele mad til befolkningen "fordi den ville blive nødt til at fylde lagrene bagefter", og hvordan BBC alligevel prøver på at gøre det til den vestlige verdens skyld at befolkningen sulter. For et par dage siden var der en ny historie om det:

Niger's government cannot afford to distribute free food to those hit by a food crisis, officials say, as hundreds of people flee to Nigeria.

Food crisis committee manager Seydou Bakary warned of a "nationwide catastrophe" if this year's harvests are even slightly deficient. .....

Nigerian immigration officials say there has been a "substantial" increase in the number of people crossing from Niger.

"They are fleeing from the famine facing them," said Hassan Suleiman Kangiwa, head of the Nigerian immigration service in northern Katsina State.

He said that security had been increased at border posts and that those without valid documents would be sent home.

Mr Bakary, however, told the AFP news agency that the issue was being "politicised" and that people always went hungry in one of the world's poorest countries.

For at resumere: Nigers regering nægter at brødføde sin egen befolkning fra regeringslagrene (den benægter for den sags skyld også at der stadig er slaveri i Niger, og gængsler folk for at sige at det er tilfældet), og hvilken overskrift vælger BBC så at sætte på den historie?

No food aid as hungry flee Niger

Husk: det er altid de hvides skyld.
