Description

The terrible 1984 famine in Ethiopia focused the world’s attention at the country and the problem of aid as never before. Someone over the age of 30 remembers something of the events–if not the original TV pictures, then Band Aid and Live Aid, Geldof and Bono. Peter Gill used to be the first journalist to succeed in the epicenter of the famine and one of the most TV reporters who brought the tragedy to light. This book is the story of what happened to Ethiopia in the 25 years following Live Aid: the place, the people, the westerners who have tried to lend a hand, and the wider multinational aid business that has come into being. We saved countless lives at first and continue to save them now, but have we done much else to turn into the lives of Ethiopia’s poor and set them on a “development” course so that you can enable the country to thrive?
