No matter how well intentioned, Sally Struthers and her bleeding heart supporters have failed.She needed armed escort willing to shoot any guerillas who would interfere. But nope, that does not fit into Sally’sbleeding heart liberal world.
People cannot be helped unless there is protection happening.

There is a Wondery podcast called ‘Against The Odds’. The first season was ‘Thai Cave Rescue’ of that boys’ soccer team - absolutely fascinating & I highly recommend it. There are many details that you didn’t get from the media, but my comment actually pertains to the second season.
The second season (Kidnapped in the Desert) has been 3 episodes about an American humanitarian aid worker Jessica Buchanan, who was kidnapped in 2011 by Somali land pirates. Seal Team 6 finally went in to rescue her after negotiations were not going anywhere & she became very ill with a life-threatening kidney infection. The podcast details make your point about ‘protection’.
Famine often happens, not due to weather, but due to an inability to protect what you produce from being grabbed by roving bandits. So people stop trying to produce.
