Why are locusts invading East Africa again?

Published: March 3, 2021, 2 a.m.

They're like dark moving clouds, buzzing above your head.

Swarms of locusts have been tearing through parts of East Africa\u2026 And they\u2019re hungry.

They\u2019ve been devouring crop after crop, putting food supplies and farmers\u2019 livelihoods at risk.

These invasions aren\u2019t new - and yet, they now seem to be happening more often than ever.

Why is that? How did things get so bad? And can these locusts ever be stopped?
