  The Ethiopian Great Famine of...

  The Ethiopian Great Famine of 2000 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of a complex and interconnected set of factors rooted in the country's historical, environmental, and political landscape. To understand the origins of this crisis, it is essential to look back at Ethiopia’s long history of food insecurity and vulnerability to famine. While droughts have long been a natural part of Ethiopia’s climate cycles, the frequency and impact of famine have often been magnified by human elements, particularly governance and socio-economic structures. 
  In the years leading up to 2000, Ethiopia experienced several severe droughts, but the early signs of the looming crisis were evident by the late 1990s. Climatic shifts, including the failure of critical rainy seasons, devastated crop yields and dried up grazing lands, particularly in the country's eastern and southern regions. For a population heavily dependent on subsistence agriculture, these environmental changes meant immediate food shortages and a rapid decline in household resilience. What might have remained a regional hardship quickly evolved into a nationwide emergency due to the lack of sufficient preventative action. 
  Government response in the early stages was slow and limited by bureaucratic challenges and political distractions, including the aftermath of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war that ended in 2000. Resources were stretched thin, and infrastructure remained underdeveloped, particularly in rural areas where the famine was most severe. Early warning systems existed but were either underutilized or their signals ignored, contributing to the delayed mobilization of aid. The country’s centralization of power also complicated coordination with local authorities, which further hindered rapid intervention efforts.

  The Songs of Kabir

  This audiobook is narrated in a calm meditative manner that fits the subject matter of these poems. 
  Songs of Kabir is a book from 1915 consisting of 100 poems of Kabir, the 15th century Indian poet and mystic, translated to English by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. 
  A weaver by trade and a mystic by nature, the 15th century poet Kabir created timeless works of enlightenment that combine the philosophies of Sufism, Hinduism, and the Kabbala. Expressed in imagery drawn from common life and the universal experience, Kabir's poems possess an appealing simplicity. This collection of 100 songs reflects nearly every aspect of the mystic's thought and emotions: ecstasy and despair, tranquil beatitude and fervid illumination, and moments of intimate love. A fluid, luminous setting of a beloved prayer by Kabir, offering praise to a holy presence both universal and intimate, both of and beyond this world. 
  The Indian poet Kabir (1440-1518) grew up amidst Hinduism and Islam, and was deeply influenced by both. He had little use for the rites and trappings of any religion, and openly despised the pious quoting of scriptures from any religion. His poetry invoked the divine using both Hindu and Muslim names–“Allah” and “Brahma”–but in all cases, Kabir engaged with the divine in a way that was deep and immediate. Today, Kabir is revered by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike, and his songs are loved by people of all faiths.
