In the context of the [[1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia]] thousands of people were resettled from northern to southern Ethiopia. The official reason given by the government was that people would be moved from the drought-affected northern regions to the south and south-west, where arable land was plentiful. Others argued that resettlement was a ploy to depopulate areas of unrest in the [[Ethiopian Civil War]].

===South Africa===

African people from across southern Africa were forced to move into 'homelands' or [[Bantustan]], which were territories that the white National Party administration of South Africa set aside for black inhabitants of South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia), as part of its policy of [[apartheid]].
