      Fears have been raised that the worst drought in the region may continue as it is predicted that it will not rain for the sixth consecutive season in the Horn of Africa. The Joint Development Authority of East African Countries (IGAD) and an institution that monitors the climate in the region issued a warning yesterday, indicating that there will be much less rain than expected, which could worsen the terrible drought.
