In the 1980s, images of starving children in Ethiopia shocked the world and triggered one of the largest humanitarian responses in history. 

But behind the famine was a much deeper story of drought, civil war, dictatorship, forced resettlement, and the politics of food. 

It was a disaster that changed Ethiopia, transformed global charity, and raised hard questions about how relief can save lives while becoming entangled in conflict. 

Learn more about the 1980s Ethiopian Famine on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
