World Food Summit for fighting hunger: a complete failure

In comment on the opening of the World Food Summit in Rome for fighting hunger, which afflicts more than one billion people around the world, Hizbullah issued the following statement:

The tragic figures of the FAO-on the number of hungry people around the world-reveal the criminal face of the so-called materialistic culture of savage capitalism at present, and uncovers to all mankind the horrors, tragedies and injustices that the global ballistic institutions have caused.

These alarming statistics shape a clear example of the total failure of these policies in charge of world economy, and state their moral impoverishment portrayed in systematic policies of looting people's wealth as well as promoting global monopolies.

Institutions of the United Nations- which chose the aim of reducing the number of hungry people by half by 2015 as to top its Millennium goals in 2000- has failed miserably in its mission. Not only that but also the high increase in the number of hungry people results from the policies of hegemony, aggression, occupation and siege as well as obliging states to follow policies that do not commensurate with its interests.

Hizbullah believes that the world countries practicing and commiting aggression, occupation and supporting it- with the US topping the list- are responsible of this serious global menace, and that the solution lies in peoples' attainment of real independency as well as having free option of owning their wealth and distributing it correctly in such a way that fulfills social justice and security.
