Ethiopia: Desert Locust Outbreak and Existing Impact on Eastern and Northern Ethiopia

The Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the Desert Locust Control Organization for East Africa (DLCO-EA) are working together to control the desert locust invasion which migrated from Yemen to Ethiopia through Djibouti and Somaliland. The continuing rainy season in Somaliland and the North Eastern part of Ethiopia created favorable breeding conditions, which may cause the pest to migrate to North Kenya, Sudan and Eretria soon if immediate action is not taken at the breeding base in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture announced last week that the swarm is under control.
