Resettlement program in Asosa 1986

The Asosa resettlement program in 1986 wasΒ a component of the Ethiopian Derg regime's larger, forced "Emergency Resettlement" program, which relocated hundreds of thousands of people from the drought-stricken highlands to the lowland regions of western Ethiopia, including Asosa, to address food insecurity.Β This large-scale, poorly planned, and coercively implemented program resulted in devastating conditions, with high death rates from disease and starvation, environmental damage, and negative impacts on both settlers and host populations.
