WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said that the famine developing in eastern Africa needs an international response and that African nations must help figure out how to keep tens of thousands of people from starving.
Obama met at the White House on Friday with the presidents of four African countries: Guinea, Benin, Niger and Ivory Coast.
Addressing reporters afterward, he said the looming humanitarian crisis hasn’t gotten the attention from the U.S. that it deserves.
