Moreover, the escalation of the military campaign against the insurgent movements in Eritrea, Tigray, and the Ogaden forced thousands of Ethiopians to flee into neighboring countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
