1. ETHIOPIA
ON THE BRINK OF A FAMINE

3. Ethiopia is an African country that lies
at the horn of Africa which is facing a
food crisis
Since mid-July 2011, a
severe Drought has been
affecting the entire East
Africa (Horn of Africa)region. Said
to be "the worst in 60 years", the
drought has caused a severe food
crisis across Somalia, Ethiopia an-
d Kenya that threatens the
livelihood of more than 13.3
million people due to Rain
Failure!

4. As for Ethiopia, Rain Failure is not the only
reason for the crisis , there is another reason
which is that Ethiopia cannot use water that
goes to the Nile river due to the old
agreement with England . Also, using water
from the Nile means that Egypt as well could
have a famine because the only water
resource for Egypt is the Nile River….so we
can say that the main reason for Ethiopia’s
crisis is Rain Failure!

5. When did the Crisis happen?
Ethiopia had lots and lots of famines , but the
recent one has started at 2006, and they say if
it continues it may be worse than the famine
of 1984-85

7. Why didn’t Ethiopia solve the problem
till now?
• Because the country have poor resources
• They mainly live on aids from other
countries
• Inflation in prices 200-300%
• The recent Prime Minister who is in
charge of the country “Meles Zenawi” was
first elected by the people, but then he
rigged the elections of 2005
• Some people say he wants to rule the
country by dictatorship

crisis!

9. Explanation…
WFP and OXFAM wants to help Ethiopia by
giving food, clean water, etc.. As a first push
to the Ethiopians so they can start planting
crops and rise with their economy ,but every
month it gets even worse the prices have risen
by 14.6%

10. How can the problem be fixed?
The answer is that the rain doesn’t fail the next
year too so let us all pray for that, or it will be
the 4th time in a row and the crisis will get
worse and becomes a famine..
