Aid for Arms in Ethiopia

In 1985, the world came together to raise money in response to a terrible famine in Ethiopia.

The outpouring of generosity, and the response of governments and charities around the world, saved many lives - but some of the money, it seems, was used for other purposes.

Evidence has emerged that millions of dollars given for famine relief was diverted by Ethiopian rebels to buy weapons.
