[pronut-hiv] Concern on reports

In the last few weeks or months there had been reports on looming drought or the impact of drought or possible catastrophe as a result in east Africa
Strange enough the countries that had been mentioned repeatedly in the news including your pronut-hiv@healthnetorg are Sudan, Kenya , Somalia Ethiopia and Djibouti. No one is mentioning Eritrea even though the last very poor rains in the coastal region will have similar effect in the population in particular around the Red Sea coast and escarpment areas of Eritrea. I don't have detail on the nutritional status but I expect to see similar global rates of malnutrition but why is Eritrea not being mentioned is politics playing part also in the lives of children and mothers????
I wonder
