Climate change coupled with wide-spread famine is “creating more terrorism” in Africa, home to jihadist organizations like the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and al-Qaeda, declared Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday partly focused on jihadi activity in Africa, Gillibrand noted:
I’m very concerned about what’s happening in Africa. … On the front page of the New York Times yesterday, a story [noted] that more than 650,000 children under the age of five are severely malnourished in northern Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, and that famine throughout Africa is causing 12 million people to rely on food aid.
You combine that with the effects of global climate change specifically on the ability of the many countries within Africa to grow their own food and provide for food, it’s creating crime. It’s creating more terrorism.
