Again that scarry pictue hit the world over , a starving Ethiopian kid holding tight on to the emaciated breasts of his dying mother.We are yet the poster Nation of a starving world or that corner of the world, the bleak dark side.
Good God, and I thought we have a class of robust kulaks with protruding belly.

I was disgusted with my people my government the world, and myself.It looks like there is least likelyhood for us to see the end of this humiliating blot on our miserable three millenia life.ForGod's sake just weeks ago they were decorating those very peasants who are now flocking to the feeding centres run by the indifatiguable ferenjis.At least 'being eternally bonded with incredible love' for our country we should be able to run a few feeding centres ourselves.
Where are those funny hooded highway robbers called local NGDs when the people want them most? Doing awareness classes ?On the inviolability of the fundamental human rights?Don't make me laugh.
Yeah right!,the only human right that makes any sense here is the right to a decent meal at least once in a long while.

The only dominant political factor that has been haunting successive Ethiopian gov'ts like a ghost has been HUNGER.It has toppled many of them.
It should.It is a shame that has kept our heads down for such a long time.That is our singular contribution to the world.We make the rest of it cringe with horror and tell them how meaninglessly brutal and fragile life could be.And they drop down on their knees and for once in their happy go lucky lives pray to and bless God for not being born Ethiopian.
The terrible thing is while our poor peasants are dying government officials and their partners in corruption those merchants of chaos are fattening their pocket with ill gotten money.Some times I think isn't it time to hit the jewellery stores of piassa 'cos chances are three quarters of Ethiopian well to do's are regular thieves.
Would it be a crime to rob a thief of his _object_ of crime?
Ask just about any 'wealthyman' he would frankly tell you every transaction he makes are crooked and come with a kick back to the concerned gov't official.
That is the root cause of famine in Ethiopia:Corruption!
