The last two regimes in Ethiopia have used famine as a\u00a0weapon\u00a0of war against\u00a0their\u00a0own people, but as means of\u00a0survival\u00a0on power. The communist regime displaced 100 thousands from Tigre & Wollo provinces to the other parts of Ethiopia in mid 1980’s. Today the irredentist\u00a0regime\u00a0of Melees Zenawie is using famine and hunger to push the\u00a0Southern\u00a0Omotic, Gambella and Benishengol tribal\u00a0peoples\u00a0from their homestead by damming their life giving water for the international land grabbers. Here is a recent article by Survival\u00a0intentional\u00a0confirming the same old new arm known from time\u00a0immoral\u00a0used to cleanse the\u00a0original\u00a0population from their\u00a0ancestral\u00a0land all over the world. The case of the\u00a0Amerindians\u00a0damped\u00a0in reservations the\u00a0Aborigines\u00a0in\u00a0Australia\u00a0is a best historical\u00a0example\u00a0not forgetting the Romans. (Prof. Muse)<\/p>\n
