Ethiopia Economy - Development | Agriculture - Nutrition | Society Locusts storm Ethiopia afrol News, 18 April - Locust breeding and swarms have been reported near Konso and the Rift Valley in southern Ethiopia, despite the increased rainfall over the last week across the country, Food Emergency Warning System alerted.The timing and scale of locust migration is not entirely clear, but the rainfall is expected to encourage the hatching of eggs, hopper band formation and aneastward migration into the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, the Food Agricultural Organisation said. The current locust infestation has the potential to threaten local pastoralists’ access to pastures particularly for areas southeast of KibreMengi in the Oromia province.
