Elsewhere, at the end of 2022 its now clear that the #HornofAfrica has suffered its worst drought on record - the drought across #Somalia, #Kenya & much of #Ethopia has increased #food insecurity for around 21mn people & forced many to leave their troubled #farm lands - caused by five poor rain seasons in a row (driven by the #climatecrisis) - makes a bit of snow in the UK look a bit beside the point!

thx. I didn't know that, as you said, #Ethopia being the only non-colonized country in #africa back then.
Do you know more why that was the case?
#Ethopia plans to release political prisoners and pardon others convicted of political crimes, and close the Maekelawi detention center (called a torture center) and convert it to a museum https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/ethiopia-announces-release-of-political-prisoners-in-bid-for-national-dialogue/2018/01/03/ae181a6a-f085-11e7-b390-a36dc3fa2842_story.html?utm_term=.bce01dcb9dba
