Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, good evening, good afternoon, whenever and wherever you're listening to us from, this is the Do Yourself Podcast with me, your host, Wilfred Mina. And if I sound a little raspy today, forgive me, I am dealing with a horrible cold, but this is a special situation that has necessitated an entire emergency podcast.

If you've read the title, you know who my guest is, he's SofaBim, one of our go-to guests whenever we have an emergency in the Horn of Africa, and it seems like we're having one every single month.

So I'm going to kick it to my good friend, Michael D'Angelo from the Critical Threats Project to briefly introduce himself and briefly talk about a situation in Ethiopia before we go into more specifics about just how big of a crisis we're facing right now. Mike, tell us the people. Thank you for having me again, Wilfred.
