Ethiopia, the Bale Province. From the Melka Oda Camp, April 1979. Lisbeth Andreasen explains: " Etiopien, Baleprovinsen. Fra Melka Oda lejren, april 1979. Lisbeth Andreasen fortæller: "Så er huset færdigt, og plastik-taget er fra Herlev, Danmark" (FKN). Lejren skal huse 7000 mand, som regeringen har besluttet at flytte fra det tørkeramte Wollo i Nordetiopien – angiveligt til det 'mere frodige Bale'. De ankom i meget dårlig tilstand og til 'ingenting'!

Ethiopia, the Bale Province. From the Melka Oda Camp, April 1979. Lisbeth Andreasen explains: "Now the house is built, with a plastic roof from Herlev, Denmark" (DCA). The camp is planned to accommodate 7000 men, moved by the government from the severely drought affected Wollo area of North Ethiopia - according to promises, to the 'more fertile Bale'. However, they arrived in very bad conditions and to 'nothing'!
