In February 2017, the UN declared that parts of South Sudan were experiencing a famine (Voa News), and other countries in Africa, including Somalia, are facing the possibility of famine in the near future (Famine Early Warning System, Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, Reuters). For general information on how famines are declared, see: NPR, BBC. Both the declaration and the famine need to occur in 2017.
