Question

Answer 1

Foreign aid and government control caused Ethiopian famines.

Farmers there are better off than they have been in years previous and the crisis they are facing now is because their government is trying to prevent foreign aid groups from purchasing the food grown by those farmers (not forcing them to sell to first world countries) .. undermining the cash assistance programs that have made Ethiopia a model.

Ethiopia realized that foreign food aid wasn't the answer to their troubles .. because in times of great famine, food aid only went into the city that the government controlled. And the government refused to request food aid during Ethiopia's two greatest famines (brought on by harsh drought and the governments refusal to establish foreign food aid or cash assistance programs).

Additionally, the free food from aboard forced farmers to sell their crops at lower prices or to completely abandon their crops.

The key to end famine is to stop just handing out free food and instead implement cash-assistance programs that enable farmers to actually benefit.

Answer 2

Ethopia doesn't have the medicine and cures like we do and food is scarce over there, so famines always break out.

Answer 3

Stupidly, because the government forces farmers to sell the food that they produce to first world countries, changed the growing patterns to monocrops, where everyone grows the same thing that is in high demand in the first world, leaving the people there starving of hunger because they can't eat stupid coffee beans.  They could easily have enough food, but the government decides they don't need people, they need money so they sell the food away
