UN warns of locusts for Africa
Rome - Swarms of desert locusts could threaten crops in the African countries of Mauritania, Niger and Sudan, a United Nations food agency warned on Monday.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation said the situation could become critical within weeks, urging governments and donors to monitor the problem closely and prepare to intervene.

"The number of locusts is increasing rapidly. They are beginning to concentrate themselves into groups characteristic of an outbreak," the Rome-based agency's Locust Group said in a statement. "We need to address the problem now, before the situation deteriorates."
