[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Blame the corrupt, ruthless dictatorships and the UN whose globalist policies supports them. Most of the food and supplies we gave to Ethiopia in 1985 was taken away by the Marxists.

Until the people rise up and realize they've been had, they deserve neither American money nor support.

Dittos, dittos, and more dittos.

The people do not deserve to be shunned. Ethiopia does not have the tribal wars that plague the Congo. Ethiopia has a Christian heritage that goes back to the 4th century. Amharic and Ge'ez are languages with ancient Greek influences. Many of the names are Greek. Ethiopia 50 years ago was more like 10th century Europe than like stone-age Africa. Looking at the map and at the geography induces in me the feeling that Toklkien may have built Middle Earth on this place.

The government is still nominally Marxist but it is fighting no war and is not trying to starve any of its people. This country has a large Moslem population and to date seems immune to jihadism. The Christians and the Moslems and the Jews (the Jewish popularion goes back to the 500s BC)treat each other as one would would expect in America.
