The paper analyses the historical, political and economic background of the 1992 famine in Somalia. The theories of famine, namely, Sen's 'entitlement' theory and De Waals 'health crisis' theory are outlined, compared and applied to the situation in Somalia. The paper argues that International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, as well as the cold war between the USSR and the USA must bare some responsibility for the huge death toll from starvation in Somalia.
