One of the fleet of trucks we used to carry food to the starving Ethiopians.Later we learned that government troops were coming in behind us and taking the food away to feed the army.
Worse, they were separating Christian familes and and hauling them to the south psrt of the country to become slaves for the Jesus-haters there.
I had felt like we were doing a good thing by feeding thousands of hungry people at a time. Then I discovered that we were being used to set a trap for them.
At that time the famine and war in Mozambique and the refugee camps in Zimbabwe were largely being ignored by the media so we shifted our emphasis to southern Africa.
When you must choose who you can keep alive, you are also chosing who you will let die.
Not an easy decision.
