Why Are Swarms Of Locusts Wreaking Havoc In East Africa?

    Posted by NPR - Africa News on

    Desert locusts jump up from the ground and fly away as a cameraman walks past earlier this month in Nasuulu Conservancy, northern Kenya.

    Clouds of the insects can stretch for miles, devouring vegetation and destroying crops. Locust experts say time is running out to get the swarms under control because they multiply so quickly.
