Which one of the following countries has been suffering from decades of civil strife and food shortages and was in news in the recent past for its very severe famine?

Angola
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Somatia

The correct answer is (d). Somalia has been suffering from decades of civil strife and food shortages. The country was in the news in the recent past for its very severe famine.

Angola has been recovering from a long civil war, but the country is now stable and has a growing economy. Costa Rica is a peaceful country with a high standard of living. Ecuador is a developing country with some economic problems, but it is not experiencing a famine.

Somalia has been without a functioning government since 1991. The country is divided into several regions controlled by different warlords. The lack of government control has led to widespread lawlessness and violence. The country is also experiencing a severe drought, which has caused widespread famine.

The United Nations estimates that over 2 million people in Somalia are at risk of starvation. The UN has called for an urgent increase in humanitarian aid to the country.
