The deputy head of Ethiopian famine relief said he is resigning and will not return to his Marxist-ruled homeland. His superior defected to the United States last fall. Berhane Deressa said in a statement at the United Nations that he could no longer serve a regime “whose primary purpose is implanting a foreign ideology and an alien socio-political system.” Dawit Wolde Giorgis, head of the famine agency, left Ethiopia in October and lives in the United States.
