Based on this discussion and economic theory, suppose that a second wave of locusts occurred and decimated crops and pasture in East Africa, leading to a major spike in staple food prices within the region. Draw appropriate diagrams using Malthus' model to illustrate and explain in some detail the possible effects of such a severe locust plague within the horn of Africa. Comment on the explanatory power of Malthus' model in this context for the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
