Feeding Centers Open in Ethiopia

The World Food Program is diverting emergency food shipments to Ethiopia, where officials expect already severe supply shortages to worsen over the next few months. A month after the first worldwide warning of an increase in malnutrition cases, feeding centers are operating and life-saving supplies are arriving. But VOA's Peter Heinlein in Addis Ababa reports July is likely to be the most critical period, with deteriorating nutrition levels among people already living on the edge.

This video was filmed in June 2008. Almost one year ago. Are there any follow ups? I doubt if anything has changed. We Ethiopians needs to change, from head to toe. I mean the head (PM Meles) to the least Ethiopian. We need to sacrifice ourselves for our fellow country men. Maybe change will come that way.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to celebrate the so called Ethiopian Millenium while this poor childern were gasping for their last breath. What a shame! I think the weyane regime has short memory. In the mid-80's, Mengistu was celebrating the 10th anniversary of the worker's party while millions were starving to death. As George Santyna said it "those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it"

Ok! 3,424 have watched and no one have rated or even bothered to comment on this! This is the real deal in our country! Please don't feel a shamed and go ahead, talk about this. These are the those times that I wonder what have happen to so called "Ethiopian"? Why not talk about this problem proudly? You can be from whatever ethnic group you are, if no one comes forword and talk about this, our future children will face this!!! remember the sister said, "...somebody have to help them..."!!!
