Ethiopia

EDM number 1700 in 2007-08, proposed by Harry Cohen on 04/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Africa and Military operations.

That this House is concerned at the new drought and famine in Ethiopia; and, whilst favouring aid to those innocent civilians including children affected, records its condemnation, in such circumstances, of the Ethiopian government for its war policy which led it to invade and be the principal occupying force in neighbouring Somalia where it has established a warlord regime creating more refugees and human carnage there than in Darfur; expresses disapproval that the Ethiopian government was encouraged and financed to do this by the US and UK governments; and considers it a wicked regime that invests its resources in such wars rather than feeding its own people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
