Which one of the following countries has been suffering from decades of civil strife and food shortages and was in news in the recent past for its very severe famine?

Somalia has been facing severe challenges, including decades of civil strife and food shortages.

The country has been particularly affected by extreme drought conditions in the Horn of Africa.

Around 6.5 million people are facing acute food insecurity due to the driest conditions in 40 years, resulting from five consecutive failed rainy seasons.

These conditions are worsened by the impact of other recurring climate shocks, along with persistent insecurity and instability.

Therefore, Somalia is the correct answer.
