What’s Happening In Ethiopia And How Are Brits Getting Involved?

From Nobel Peace Prize to famine in two years.

From Nobel Peace Prize to famine.

The Ethiopian Prime Minister got given a Nobel Peace Prize a couple of years ago. It was for ending a conflict with one of the countries next door, Eritrea, which had been going on for years. But fast forward to now, and there’s a more conflict in Ethiopia again. Thousands of people are dead, millions have left their homes and the country’s famine is getting worse.

On this week’s episode, Shan chats with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s Haymanot Ashenafi and UK Activist, Faye Woyane, about what’s actually going on in Ethiopia and how the crisis is affecting the diaspora here in the UK.
