In Kenya, the food's fragile situation have affected to about 3.5 million people and in Somalia to about 1.5 million people.

The U.S. has taken an active role in wars from Libya to the Central African Republic, sent special ops forces into countries from Somalia to South Sudan, conducted airstrikes and abduction missions, even put boots on the ground in countries where it pledged it would not.
