Africa by 2020 is looking at an additional 75 to 250 million people going thirsty because of climate change, the report said. Deadly diarrhea diseases "primarily associated with floods and droughts are expected to rise" in Asia because of global warming, the report said.

Also, Africa has 6 countries with 20% (or greater) of their population infected with HIV/AIDS. Combine this epidemic with depleted water resources and I think it is safe to say Africa is going to need even more help.

It really is to bad that 2/3 of their governments are corrupt, the natural resources in the majority of those countries have the potential to make them rich if managed right.
