Raj Patel: Mozambique’s Food Riots Are the True Face of Global Warming


Thirteen people died and hundreds were wounded last week in the African nation of Mozambique when police cracked down on a three-day protest over a 30 percent hike in the price of bread.

We speak with author and activist Raj Patel.
