The UN bears a large part of the responsibility for this famine — because of the panic sown by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. If it weren't for the IPCC (plus, Al Gore & other co-conspirators; and their enablers in the MSM) we wouldn't be turning food into fuel; nor would we be facing high oil prices — both of which have driven up the cost of food.

Ethiopia also has:
* 90% income tax over 3K in income, which discourages big farms or related income
* massive import taxes, to protect local industry, but prevents importing good equipment
* really lousy property rights, so why invest in the property any way
People only grow enough food for their own family, and if the harvest is bad, all the families starve.
This is a famine by socialism, not capitalism.
