The two countries most seriously affected could suffer the loss of 10 percent of their populations in a year, if one takes into account the impact of such a catastrophe on food production and the overall health of the populations involved. Our understanding of the causes then is urgent in order to avoid the worst and to prevent similar tragedies in other regions of the global South.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV477-October-2014-" rel="directory">IV477 - October 2014</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Liberia-+" rel="tag">Liberia</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Guinea-+" rel="tag">Guinea</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Sierra-Leone-+" rel="tag">Sierra Leone</a>
