Ethiopa

Ethiopia has suffered famine, wars and 17 years of Stalinist Marxism that together combined to ruin its already weak economy. 

Since the overthrow of the Mengistu government in 1991, poor communications, lack of political unity, and severe droughts have inhibited the recovery. 

Unemployment is still over 35%. The Marxist regime persecuted the Church – especially evangelicals, and during that time many Church leaders were imprisoned. 
Since 1991 there has been unprecedented freedom for worship and witness.
