This is the world we live in where no one in the media dare to would inform the public of how much food is being exported from Ethiopia to the west by big agri-corporations while the people stave to death.

Pvtjamesryan2,

You are ignorant and insulting beyond belief.

@Linsteadite

If Ethiopia has been shopping for arms, spending BILLIONS of dollars a year & waging endless wars against it's own people & neighbors for decades, how does Ethiopia get to EXPORT food & MILLIONS of Ethiopians starve to death?

Even the hard-currency earned from EXPORTING ETHIOPIAN COFFEE is looted by Ethiopian politicians & stashed in Western Banks, enriching the Western Corporate mercenaries & Western nations, at the expense of millions of dead-Ethiopians.

What date was this broadcast or how recent is it?

6.2 million Tigrayans are facing the worst famine again.

All i know is, i will not be sending money again because last time the rebel force called (TPLF) diverted our money towards buying weapons and not feeding their tigrayan people

[zumwane]

I wonder if the reporters gives the victims some money when interviewing them..?

Dude, Africans keep having children when they damn well know they won't be able to feed them all.

[BahreNeGash]

If Ethiopia can afford billions of dollars to shop for arms & wage wars against it's people & it's neighbors, Ethiopian can certainly build dams to conserve rain, buy generators to pump & distribute water & tractors to farm it's lands.

If the DESERTS of Egypt & Sudan can be farmed from the Nile river, sourcing in Ethiopia & feed the Egyptians & the Sudanese, Ethiopia should use the same NILE river to feed it's people.

Too bad, Ethiopia is more consumed in waging wars than feeding it's people.

Why would you want to flood the earth when resources are already getting thin. Even if you don't care about other peoples or species, even if you don't care about anyone other than yourself, surely you can see--from an economic standpoint--the stupidity of such an argument. Do you really want there to be so many people on the earth that you have to compete for food and oil. You may change your tune when petrol hits 20 pounds a gallon! Maybe environmentalists are just smart economists!

[LICAc1]

How few people seem to have compassion! I know, let's blame poor Africans, Obama, and environmentalists for the problems caused by the greed of multinational corporations and the world bank. You climate change nay-sayers better hope that you are right because it is obvious that people like YOU won't help YOU if you ever become a victim of overpopulation, war, and climate change! Hope u are happy in your individualism, and that u never have to rely on the people that you so relentlessly condemn.
