The UN's World Food Programme is being forced to suspend aid to malnourished women & children throughout Ethiopia starting in May due to a devastating lack of funding. Without urgent support, 3.6 million people could lose food assistance. Conflict & displacement are rising—but aid is shrinking. The crisis deepens as the US cuts foreign aid—once WFP’s largest donor. Hunger will not stop when our help runs dry. Immediate support for the WFP is critical—millions face the risk of starvation. #Ethiopia #WFP

#Eritrea is indeed a pious nation & oasis of religious/ethnic harmony in a turbulent region often wracked by violent sectarian cleavages. Yet, US State Deparment dwells in its preposterous designation of Eritrea as "Country of Particular Concern!"
