Ethiopia

This report describes the emergency situation arising out of the rapid influx of Somali refugees into eastern Ethiopia, and recommends priority interventions of road repair, massive water tanking operations, provision of adequate shelter, food and improved health services.

This report focuses on refugee participation aspects of the Save the Children Federation (SCF) programme in Karkora, a settlement for Eritrean refugees in eastern Sudan.

This paper looks at internal displacement in Ethiopia, involving issues of national sovereignty and war, and concentrates on three historical periods: 1984-86, when acute starvation hit and there were several massive displacements garnering worldwide attention; 1987-91, when the rebels were on the military offensive; and post-1991, when decades of internal war in Ethiopia ended with the defeat of the Ethiopian army and political regime, resulting in several fresh displacements.
