The main cause of starvation in Africa is a serious food shortage. There is a drought in Africa bringing in low harvests, which also drives up the price of other food. The profound affect of HIV and AIDS makes those infected less able to shake off the hunger and is also killing millions of farmers. Bad economic policies todo with agricultural issues also add to the crisis. There isn't enough investments towards agriculture and the African farm exports don't bring high enough prices.
The other cause of starvation in Africa is poor leadership. Starvation in Africa is mostly man-made, draught only makes it worse. When you have leaders like Mugabe of Zimbabawe, or Issais of Eritrea or Al Beshir of the Sudan, who do not have an ounce of respect to their citizens, then suffering and starvation is certain. Despite the food shortages in Eritrea, the leader kicked most NGO's from the country. Darfur people are pershing because of the poor leadership of Al Beshir. I have only scratched the surface and the list goes on. A corupt leader always have corupt followers and the damges are multiplied.
cos its so hot there that all there crops are burned so its had for some of them to eat! =[

What is the main cause of starvation in Africa?
Since there are many factors that contribute to starvation in Africa it is a bit difficult to identify just one as the main cause, but I would say that dysfunctional societies lead to starvation.

Corrupt or otherwise inadequate social organization has prevented Africa from dealing effectively with these problems. So I sum it up as dsyfunctional societies.
