By admin on August 27th, 2008

ADDIS ABABA, 25 August 2008 (IRIN) - Fatuma Ali and Tieba Hussein left Hara village in Wollo, Amhara region of northeastern Ethiopia with some of their neighbours, believing that they could improve their livelihoods in the capital city, Addis Ababa.

“Our husbands decided to stay in the village with the children,” Fatuma, a mother of three, told IRIN as her sister and mother of one looked on. “If rain comes, we will return to the village.”
