ADDIS ABABA, June 2 (Xinhua) -- The prolonged drought in Ethiopia has triggered significant displacement that is likely to continue into 2023 across communities with eroded livelihoods, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Friday.

The UN migration agency, in its Ethiopia Annual Report 2022 that was issued Friday, said as the drought situation persists in parts of the East African country, there is a high probability of a sixth failed season in 2023, a phenomenon not seen or heard of in recorded history.
