Ethiopian Troubles

BBC News is providing almost daily features about starvation in Ethiopia, a crisis caused by the rising cost of food. My sympathy is tempered a bit by mental images of Ethiopian troops invading Somalia and indiscriminately blowing up, among other things, food warehouses. Ethiopia continues to occupy Somalia to this day, and the killing continues at a truely horrific pace. Millions of Somalis are homeless and starving, without medical care, because of the actions of Ethiopian troops in their country. Makes me a little less concerned about the wellbeing of the Ethiopian people.
