This paper tells the story of four families in Gata in South Walo,
a Muslim community in rural Ethiopia with a long history. It
depicts their lives during a recent period of drought and famine,
where the effects of the killer famine of 1984 are still felt. The
story provides a rare glimpse of the human suffering behind the
grim statistics of poverty and famine in the country. The stories
tell of their trading activities and links with the district town,
providing insights into the relationships, tensions, and bonds of
reciprocity between urban and rural communities. Harald Aspen is
Associate Professor of social anthropology at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.
