Band Aid Trust to complain over 'funding arms procurement' claim
The Band Aid Trust will complain to the British broadcasting watchdog Ofcom about a BBC report that alleged millions of pounds raised for famine relief in Ethiopia was spent on weapons, one of its trustees said today.
It follows a broadcast on the BBC World Service which reported claims that 95% of the $100m (€73.41m) in aid which went to the province of Tigray in 1985 was used by rebel forces to buy weapons.
