Ethiopia drought: on the edge of a crisis -- New Internationalist

across the country. It has triggered prolonged dry spells, delaying the
much sought-after rains that allow farmers to harvest their crops and
leaving over 10 million people in immediate need of aid assistance.
‘We have to find a way to ration our animal feed during periods of
drought,’ says Roba Adola. ‘Managing our natural resources would help to
prevent famine, like the one we saw in the 1980s.'
