Why is Drought a problem in Africa?
Because with Drought Africa's crops would not be able to grow, and some of the animals along with thousands of humans die of drought each years.
How does the government play a role in Drought?
The government could choose to make fuel more expensive, so that the people in that area could not afford it, so they would try to make their own by cutting down trees and destroying the environment causing the climate to change so it will cause a Drought.
What is the global reaction to Drought?

In more places than just Africa also gets Drought and many of the people are still dieing from drought but there will always have droughts as long as we live on Earth.
How would you attempt to fix drought?
I would make sure that fuels affordable so that Africans people would not destroy their environment trying to make their own, so the climate won't change keeping Africa to have rain from time to time again.
