Famine in the Horn is both a tool and an aspect of ethnic conflict,
with the Ethiopian Amharas of the central highlands pitted against
the Eritreans and Tigreans of the north. The overwhelming majority
of U.S. journalists have reported on Ethiopia from one side
only-that of the Amharas in Addis Ababa. The author wants to show
the story from the other side, in order to redress a grievous
imbalance in news coverage. To get people excited, you sometimes
have to light a fire, and that was the author's intention. This
book covers the period from late 1984 to the early part of 1987. In
late 1987, the famine returned, mainly for the very reasons cited
inside.
