News and 2 minute video from the BBC that explains what is happening in Ethiopia:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7522060.stm - Although this is an area North of Addis Ababa, it looks just like conditions that I saw in Ethiopia in 1985 – 1987 when our churches fed over 100,000 people for a year.  That time we fed Muslims.  This time it is Christians. – Don Yelton
