Hundreds of thousands have been coercively sent to other parts of the country. many at gunpoint. The program entails the capture. imprisonment. and forcible relocation of peasants. During this process. families are separated and food and water are systematically withheld so that the victims do not try to escape. Cultural Survival. a Harvardbased research group. has interviewed refugees in the Sudan who fled Ethiopian resettlement camps. According to those interviews 40 percent of those resettled claimed to have been beaten and 20 percent said they had witnessed others being beaten to death. Eighty percent said their families had been broken up in the resettlement process.
