Terrorist groups can lure hungry Ethiopians

WASHINGTON: Despite support from US, including the current aid of 532 million dollars, Ethiopia is heading towards a severe drought in generations.

It has been estimated that over eighteen  million people will either lack food or have little of it and two million people will be deprived of potable water.

The international observers believe that unemployment and hunger might make Ethiopians join terrorist organizations.

It is pertinent to recall that the 1984 crisis resulted into death of one million Ethiopians.
