Ethiopia 'breaks' tree-planting record to tackle climate change

[Beardman]

Ethiopia has planted more than 200 million trees in a day, officials say, in what they believe is a world record.

The current World Record for planting trees in a single day is held by India, which used 800,000 volunteers to plant more than 50 million trees in 2016.

Critics of Mr Abiy say he is using the campaign to distract the public from the challenges his government is facing, including ethnic conflicts which have forced some 2.5 million people from their homes.
