Excerpt from Ethiopia and Sudan; Warfare, Politics, and Famine: Hearing Before the Select Committee on Hunger, House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, Second Session, Hearing Held in Washington, DC, July 14, 1988
Mr. Brown. Mr. Chairman, we welcome the opportunity to meet with this committee this morning to review developments in the Horn of Africa. As you know the administration testified on hunger, war, and politics in the Horn on two previous occasions this year. On March 10 before this Committee and on April 21 before the Africa and Human Rights Subcommittees. My written testimony is an update of events in Ethiopia and a summary of where our relief efforts stand in Sudan.
The situations in both countries continue to be troubling. Our most urgent efforts in Sudan and Ethiopia are aimed at moving food through whatever mechanisms are available to the victims of war and famine. But our efforts are also based on the recognition that relief and food issues cannot be separated from the politics of war in each nation, and more fundamentally, that the situations in the two countries are significantly different.
