Nairobi – The United Nations Children’s Fund is seeking $650m for sanitation in Ethiopia, where 35 million people are deprived of adequate hygiene, a Unicef statement says.
The African Development Bank, the World Bank and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) had pledged more than $50m for the project, but Unicef added that it was “still a far cry, however, from the estimated $650m required for universal coverage in Ethiopia”.
“Unicef calls on all donors to invest in achieving sustainable access to improved sanitation, which is essential for the realisation of human rights, health and dignity,” said Bjorn Ljungqvist, Unicef representative to Ethiopia.
Though more than 1.2 billion people worldwide had gained access to improved sanitation between 1990 and 2004, an estimated 2.6 billion people – including 980 million children – had yet to be reached.

Woyanne will steal most of this money and use it to build concentration camps.

If this $650 million for Ethiopia’s sanitation problem becomes materialized, I advise UNICEF never to put this money into the hands of Meles Seitanawi; it is just like putting straw into the fire if the money goes directly to Meles. I suggest UNICEF put the money into the hands of the common people of Ethiopia under the supervision of someone from UNICEF and let the people clean the mess the Woyanne regime has refused to do so, or he does not have money for such noble cause, but he has money for slaughtering the Amhara people, the Oromo people, the Somalis, and the Ogaden people. This is the tragedy Ethiopia is facing; great organizations such as UNICEF send their money to Ethiopia, but the Ethiopian people never get it; most of the time, it ends up in the hands of the thieves – the Meles’ political gangs.
Weyanes are barking every where by saying that their economy is darmatically is growing, not an international communities are begging to save ethiopia’s children.
