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?
A
Angola
B
Costa Rica
C
Ecuador
D
Somalia
Correct Answer
Explanation
Somalia is the correct answer as it has endured over three decades of civil conflict and recently faced its worst drought in 40 years, leading to a catastrophic famine that displaced millions. While Angola (Option A) also suffered a long civil war, it ended in 2002 and the country has not been in recent news for a large-scale famine of this magnitude. This question tests the candidate's awareness of global humanitarian crises and the intersection of prolonged geopolitical instability with climate-induced food insecurity.
