"US Resumes Food Aid to Ethiopia After Negotiations Over Corruption"
TL;DR
The United States will resume providing food aid to Ethiopia next month after a five-month suspension due to allegations of widespread theft. The Ethiopian government has agreed to implement reforms, including joint lists of the needy with aid groups and community members, third-party monitoring, and new identification cards for households. The government will no longer be responsible for securing warehouses, and aid agencies will have control. The resumption of aid comes as millions of Ethiopians continue to face food insecurity due to civil war, drought, and inflation.
