| | The Horn of Africa has been described as 'the land of refugees' . In this land of refugees, Ethiopia is known to be experiencing the worst refugee problem. According to figures published in the World Refugee Survey - 1987 in Review, Ethiopia has the third largest refugee population in the world falling behind only Afghanistan and Palestine. Although figures vary, sometimes significantly, there are well over one million Ethiopian refugees - a majority of them in Sudan. Ravaged almost permanently by famine, war and other social conflicts, there are no indications that the refugee flow from Ethiopia is likely to abate in the near future. |
