Galmo’s story: In Ethiopia, IOM and EU assist thousands of desert locust-affected households Format A woman from Gomole Woreda, Borena Zone with goats she bought using her cash grant. © IOM Ethiopia “When the desert locusts suddenly invaded, we were horrified,” explains Galmo Kiyo Waariyo, a farmer living in a village called Lafto in Ethiopia. “The rustling swarms were so enormous that the sky gradually darkened, and they were soon crawling everywhere.” The previous farming season looked promising until desert locusts that have ravaged the greater part of East Africa since late 2019 descended on Lafto village. The locust infestation arrived almost unexpectedly in February 2020, attacking and extensively damaging large swathes of crop and pasture.
