Tigrayans say "never again"

[Holac]

An example of how a determined clan can overcome a natural disaster. The Tigray region was the epicentre of the 1984 famine and the Tigrays lost close to a million in that famine along with other Ethiopians. Today, you can't but admire how this small clan overcame great obstacles and transformed their land into a productive land using existing natural resources. It is something Somali clans can emulate.

Oh jolly good. If small tribe in that size had the same chance to run Ethiopian economy for over two decades as their private property like the Tigray.

 

I am sure, they would have done it in less brutality and, more due diligence exercise.

ROME (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A major project to restore land in Ethiopia’s Tigray Region to boost millions of people’s ability to grow food won gold on Tuesday in a U.N.-backed award for the world’s best policies to combat desertification and improve fertility of drylands.

Tigray’s drylands, home to more than 4.3 million people, are being restored on a massive scale, said the World Future Council, a foundation which organized the award together with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).

The Tigray government has mobilized villagers to volunteer 20 days a year to build terraces, irrigation projects, build stone walls on mountains and hillsides, and other projects.

 

BTW it has started in Somali kilil. A group of some 200 Somalis visited the area 2 years ago.

UNDP is financing in Somali kilil to settle nomads which have lost all their wealth by repeating draught.
