Scope and content
This slide show consists of 44 color slides depicting the people of Ethiopia and Somalia and their difficulties due to war. Ethiopia aligned themselves with the Soviet Union and Somalia aligned themselves with the United states ensuring a constant flow of weapons into the area. Drought and later flooding compounded the situation. MCC provided relief for refugees and also development programs to help the people better use their resources. Included is a script and an audio cassette #2541.
