The United Nations says it is alarmed by the dwindling food reserves in the Republic of Namibia.

Currently the reserves are at an all-time low of 16% and jobs are at risk in an economy about one-quarter of which is made up of agriculture.

Currently more than 48% of Namibia's population is regarded as food insecure.

There are concerns that if the rains don't come in October, the country could be in trouble.

The country has now turned to rice from China, millet from India, 640 wild animals slaughtered for game meat, and purifying sea water, this as Namibia faces the worst drought in a century.

To shed more light on this ,Ms Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata, the Director General in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform.

UN alarmed by the dwindling food reserves in the Republic of Namibia

Libya has been grappling with political fragmentation and instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, leading to years of division between rival factions.

After more than a decade of turmoil, including a failed election attempt in 2021, talks happening in Morocco have brought together delegations from two key legislative bodies-the High Council of State in Tripoli and the House of Representatives in Benghazi.

In their discussions, they have agreed to work with the United Nations to pave the way for elections and form a national unity government, with a focus on institutional and security reforms.

However, scepticism remains among Libyans about whether these political leaders will genuinely cooperate for a peaceful resolution.

To discuss this, we are now joined on the line by Journalist and researcher Elizia Volkmann.
