America had contributed more than 2 million tons of food and supplies. while the Western Europeans had sent some 1.3 million tons. Furthermore. our aid programsofficial and privatewill continue at a high level this year. about $200 million for aid in fiscal 1986 has already been obligated. But sadly. these statistics are not a reliable indicator of human relief in Ethiopia. Our aid efforts are regulated. constricted. and sometimes blocked by the Communist military government. the Dergue. Consistent reports indicate that Ethiopian soldiers and militiamen are the recipients of American aid intended for the starving and the refugees. The government has deliberately harassed American aid officials. For example. the Peace Corps was expelled in 1977.
