Food shortage and Chinese workers

Today on Vatican Radio, it was reported that due to the amount of people returning to South Sudan, internal security and border security, South Sudan would run out of food in the next year. UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has released a statement that says that South Sudan will be producing half of what they need in food for the year 2012. It is estimated that between, 420,000 and 500,000 metric tons will be produced. Which to me sounds like a lot but evidentially it is not a lot at all. In other news (I feel like a news anchor), Newsday said that the 29 Chinese workers that were abducted by Sudanese were released yesterday (February 8^th, 2012) and taken by Red Cross to Kenya. The Chinese workers were attacked while working on January 29^th, 2012. It is reported that 17 had managed to escape and one body was identified as one of the workers, was found dead.
