Pestilence of swarms of locusts, coming from Somalia, are swooping down on Ethiopia.
The vast majority of Ethiopia's 77 million inhabitants depend on subsistence agriculture and have been badly hit by successive infestations of voracious locusts that destroy every plant in their path. More here
The Holy Bible records a horrible locust plague the Lord sent upon Egypt in Exodus Chapter 10:4-19 which destroyed the land of Egypt's herbs and all the fruit until nothing was left because Pharaoh was defiant and refused to let the Lord's people, the children of Israel, go. The Holy Bible also records locust swarms as one way the Lord will punish those who have rejected him in Deuteronomy Chapter 28:36-42 and Amos Chapter 4:9 and Chapter 7:1. Locusts travel in swarms and cause tremendous damage to crops, and can lead to famine and food shortages.
