If the food doesn't have armed guards making sure it gets to its final destination the food goes to the warlords too. Every famine in Africa since the 1970s has had enough food shipped into country to keep anyone from starving. But for some reason, the food never gets to certain communities. And many charitable organizations refuse to defend their shipments with armed guards, meaning whatever tin hat dictator or warlord wants the extra free food just takes it.
