Rapid population increase puts strains on food production and supply. Civil disruptions from tribal warfare can further disrupt agricultural production by causing destruction of farming land, equipment, and displacement of farmers. Combined, these factors make food shortages more likely in Africa. Infestations of crop-eating insects and climate change can also contribute to food shortages, but they are not mentioned as options in the question.
