I came across this post Thursday.

Would anyone care to comment?

My sister told me about this - "Ethiopian officials and an aid agency have denied a BBC report that millions of dollars raised in 1984 for the Ethiopian famine was siphoned off to buy weapons."

This is the latest news as of March 4th.

"You seem to have missed the facts that Africa Oil Ethiopia is also operating in 5 exploration licences in Ethiopia. A further oil compnay (Pexco) ia also carrying exploration activities."

I'll post more if I find anything else out.

My friend, Mary,told me about this.

"Millions of dollars of international aid for victims of the mid-1980s famine in Ethiopia was diverted to rebels to buy weapons in the African country, a BBC investigation reported Wednesday."

Ethiopian officials and a charity deny a BBC report that some aid intended for famine victims in the 1980s was used to buy weapons.

My Uncle, Debbie,told me about this.
