Elections, coups, disease outbreaks and extreme weather are some of the main events that occurred across Africa in 2022.
Experts say the climate crisis is hitting Africa first and hardest. Kevin Mugenya, a senior food security advisor for Mercy Corps said the continent of 54 countries and 1.3 billion people is facing a catastrophic global food crisis that will worsen if actors do not act quickly. Problems brewed thousands of miles away — climate change and the war in Ukraine — have been devastating to the continent, say experts.
The deadly effects of extreme weather conditions are amplified in the Horn of Africa. The worst drought in decades that has seen a fifth failed rainy season in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia is affecting about 40 million people, according to the United Nations. Rising food prices due to the Ukraine war harshly affected sub-Saharan Africa, which imported 44% of its wheat from Russia and Ukraine between 2018 and 2020, according to U.N. figures.
In Ethiopia, the continued presence in Eritrea of government-allied forces who are accused of some of the worst abuses in the two-year war between Ethiopian and regional Tigray forces, threatens a November peace deal to end a conflict that has been far deadlier than the one in Ukraine.
