Abstract:
While Ethiopians by the thousands were starving to death, ships carrying food supplies last year were unable to dock at Ethiopia's ports. They had to wait until Soviet freighters finished unloading their cargos of cement. This and countless similar incidents attest to the preeminent influence Moscow now exercises in Ethiopia and the rest of the Horn of Africa.
