In as much as bbc is not africa's best of friend in terms of news coverage,this is real and happening right now in the 21st century africa.Ethiopia,the suppose craddle of civilization wallowing in miseries just like the rest of africa.

Meanwhile,people are talking about trading with the west,while trading in africa is still scantily dispersed.We shouldn't see economy as the west see it,that the winners must take all,but rather we should see it as something moderate and favourable to all.As something sustainable

I wonder why Ethiopia is always bringing shame to Africa; why don't they ever learn? Very soon musicians across the world will be singing: "WE ARE THE WORLD", "FEED THE WORLD".

I also hate the idea of westerners saying they are singing for Africans who are hungry. But please spare some thought for what these people might be going through. They dont have the resources that we have and that's mainly why they are suffering
