It was the famine that brought my family to Addis Ababa in 1989, when I was eight. My father worked for the United Nations World Food Programme. After persistent drought and a civil war, the toppling of the authoritarian regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam had split Ethiopia into two. An estimated one million people died; almost 200,000 children were orphaned.
I remember the orphans, children my age and younger, walking Addis’s potholed roads among the donkeys carrying sacks of grain and the cars emblazoned with NGO logos. I remember, often, feeling confused and ashamed. How were they expected to survive without parents to love them?
