Generals move to the offensive
Article Abstract:
Nigeria's military government is making considerable efforts to limit the damage to its reputation caused by the recent executions of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other minority rights activists. The cabinet is already working on a policy for responding to international criticism of the executions, being particularly concerned to prevent the country becoming isolated. The regime clearly does not believe in the rule of law, with all democratic institutions having been abolished and many opponents detained.

Ethiopians edge back from brink of famine
Article Abstract:
Ethiopia, which has suffered periods of famine for many years, has enjoyed good rains recently, and the government has been able to assist farmers with fertilisers and improved seeds. However, some 2.3 million Ethiopians will still require food aid in 1996, and the country remains extremely vulnerable to famine. This danger will become even more acute as its food needs continue to expand.
