For a while. the Somalians were winning. But then the Ethiopians called in the Russian and the Cuban troops. and the Ethiopians retook the Ogaden and began to drive out its mostly Somalian inhabitants. The result: a million and a half refugees have poured into Somalia from Ethiopia. Ninety percent of these are women and children. Half of them have been absorbed by the Somali population. How I dont know. The other halfabout 3/4 of a million peopleare crowded into refugee camps just inside the Ethiopian border. We spent two days in these camps. Conditions there are really quite desperate.
