A&A Farmar's World — Life goes on
Ethiopia 1985. A famine camp at Harbu in the north. Extremely hot, dusty, dry—thousands of starving men, women and children. So many that they had, shockingly, to be controlled by guards with sticks and guns. Each is given water and food and a blanket. And in the midst of this horror, one women returns her blue blanket—she would prefer a red one. (Deirdre Purcell, Ethiopia—the dark hunger)
