i am very happy to hear that U.S is helping out in the flood that is taking place around Dire Dawa and Omo river. As always the U.S is there to help. it is very unfortunate and tearing for me to see my country being ravished by the floods from different part of the country. Ethiopia is a very dear, unique from the rest of the world. the nation is the major U.S supporting country, and it should be looked at much closely as far as aid and help of economy. it really makes me sad to see my beautiful people suffering like this. lately all i am reading and wanting to know more about is Ethiopia. i hope the flooding will be settled soon, even though the rain is suppose to go through the beggining of October. a loss of life is a tragedy but a life of an Ethiopian is devestating for me. GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA as it has in the past and may God continue to look after her and her people.
