Over 1.1 million Oromo people need immediate food aid

 

...thousands of children like Baraaq suffer from child malnutrition in Borana....
…thousands of children like Baraaq suffer from hunger in Oromia region….A report released by the UN indicates that nearly 3 million Ethiopians have to be reached for emergency food aid. A once breadbasket of the country, Oromo land hosts over 1.1 million of hungry people which represent 38 percent of the hungry Ethiopians. Decades ago,these sorts of reports were from the Northern Ethiopia. A political dominance has shifted hunger and hungry people from North to South. Oromo represents 40 per cent of the total population; however, totally and brutally excluded from the political power and left to total suppression and poverty. Paradoxically, the dictator TPLF government allocates millions of tax-payers’ money to buy ‘voters’ and supporters from around the country for the election in May 2015. The government has already cracked down on the media, opposition political parties and election critics. The Ethiopian regime needs to stop wasting money and think of feeding millions of its hungry people.
