Eritrean Journey
Introduction
By : Robert Papstein
In 1985 I went to Eritrea for the first time to photograph the so-called « Ethiopian famine”, which, in Eritrea, was largely man made by the Ethiopian Government in order to starve the Eritreans into accepting Ethiopian domination. The television and still images provoked an unprecedented world response: creating Live Aid, rock musician Bob Geldof co-founded Band AID? THE Hollywood music elite led by Michael Jackson recorded “We Are The World”.
