What a bunch of crap, if you look in previous history about Africa, you'll find that droughts are a normal occurances even back in the Egyptian times way before man had the industrial revolution.

huh? what? oh global warming again.. ah well, tough luck.. Move to somewhere more temperate for god's sake..

Though, if they continue to resist moving, guess they are already used to drought and such for centuries.. so no biggie
