Speaking via video, Guterres cautioned that food must never be used \u201cas a weapon of war,\u201d as he joined other leaders in calling for urgent action to address the continent\u2019s deepening food crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers are alarming: more than 280 million people across Africa are currently malnourished. African Union Commission Chairperson Mahamoud Ali Youssouf pointed to climate shocks, conflict, and economic disruption as the key drivers of worsening food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifty-two million Africans face food insecurity, and nearly 3.4 million are on the brink of famine,\u201d Youssouf said.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders at the summit emphasized the need for stronger investments in agriculture, climate resilience, and social protection systems to reverse the trend. Without swift, coordinated efforts, the continent risks becoming home to half of the world\u2019s undernourished population within the next five years.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: Africanews<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
