'We left school to search for gold and feed our family' - BBC Africa

Here is a powerful first-person account of a group of school children in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, who described how they are grappling with the severe food shortage in an area still recovering from a prolonged civil war. Children and young people have been particularly affected and hundreds of them have been forced to drop out of school and forage for food to feed their families.

You cant just remove Child Labor from impoverished countries, they’ve likely been around for so long it would disturb the Families and the Economic Financial status so much it could collapse on itself.

[@maibege761]

Pls when will you make documentaries on the atrocities, genocide going on in the Congo basin? There's a genocide going on there.

[@ramatgan1]

It's not safe to travel to Ethiopia.
Rebels are 200 miles from the capitol and closing in.
The country is going to collapse.
Save your life and avoid Ethiopia.
