USAID to slowly resume food aid to Ethiopia after June suspension over fraud
Issued on:
The US is to resume its food assistance to refugees in Ethiopia. The decision follows reforms put in place by the Ethiopian government and agency partners to improve food distribution. But USAID will keep most operations suspended after concerns of systematic diversion of aid. Also in this edition: 400 French soldiers in the town of Ouallam will be the first to leave Niger. Finally, Liberia goes to the polls on October 10 to decide whether to give football legend George Weah a second term as president.
