A woman from the Luo tribe, who returned to her ancestral homeland after post-election violence, waits to receive food outside the wildlife centre in Kisumu's Nyalande slum, 500 km (311 miles) west of Nairobi, in this February 27, 2008 file photo. "Is it not said 'A hungry man is an angry man'?" commented Simon Nkwenti, head of a teachers' union in Cameroon, after riots that killed dozens of people in the central African country. It is a proverb world leaders might do well to bear in mind as their impoverished populations struggle with food costs driven ever higher by record oil prices, weather and speculators trading in local market places and on global futures exchanges.
