Audio: CBC on Woyanne atrocities in Ogaden

CBC’s Stephen Puddicombe report about Woyanne atrocities in Ogaden, including summary executions and punishment of the whole population by starvation. Click here to listen.

As Ethiopia shudders under poverty and oppression, Canada is accused of bean-counter development. It’s all in Stephen Puddicombe’s feature documentary from Ethiopia.

Collateral damage. Weapons from Somalia are bringing violence to Kenya, where they say dying is like drinking water. We’ll follow one man and the weapons that gave him a new life, but will almost certainly take someone else’s. And in India, the festival of Ganesh the elephant god is getting big. Maybe too big. We’ll take you to a mammoth celebration.
