At an event in the Ethiopian capital on Saturday, Guterres said, "I appeal to the international community to take immediate action on this issue. We still have a chance to deal with this problem." The problem of locusts in Ethiopia and East Africa is associated with climate change and is getting worse day by day. Warming of seawater directly means an increase in the number of cyclones. This condition plays a positive role in the breeding of locusts. The desert locust is considered the most dangerous of about a dozen species.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently said that the Horn of Africa region is one of the 3 most-affected desert areas in the world by locusts. The easternmost part of the African continent is called the Horn of Africa because on the world map this area looks like a horn. Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia are located in this region. According to the FAO, locusts are now moving from Ethiopia and Somalia to Kenya. Experts say that if they are not stopped soon, they will soon reach Uganda and Sudan.
