Abstract

Focusing on recent calamities in Sudan and Ethiopia this paper examines, against the colonial and neo-colonial backdrop, the role of aid agencies and non-governmental organisations, the politics of aid and its strategic objectives, the drawbacks of approaches to relief and development and seeks to dispel popular myths about famines and their causes as also of aid and its motives.
