Foreign aid to Ethiopia from HaileSlassie I to TPLF JUNta

After World War II, Ethiopia began to receive economic development aid from the more affluent Western countries. Originally the United Kingdom was the primary source of this aid, but they withdrew in 1952, to be replaced by the United States. Between 1950 and 1970, one source estimated that Ethiopia received almost US$600 million in aid, $211.9 million from the US, $100 million from the Soviet Union and $121 million from the World Bank. Sweden trained the Imperial Bodyguard and India at one point contributed the majority of foreign-born schoolteachers in the Ethiopian educational system.
This aid dried up under the military regime that followed the Ethiopian revolution, except for food aid during the mid-1980s. While the Soviet Union provided extensive amounts of aid, either directly or through its allies like East Germany and North Yemen, this was predominantly in the form of either military aid, or ideological education; these ended with the close of the Cold War. Large aid inflows resumed in the early 1990s aimed at reconstruction and political stabilization but declined during the war with Eritrea. The post-2000 period,however, has seen a resumption of large disbursements of grants and loans from the United States, the European Union, individual European nations, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the World Bank, and the African Development Bank. These funds totaled US$1.6 billion in 2001.
In 2001 Ethiopia qualified for the World Bank-International Monetary Fund-sponsored Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt reduction program, which is designed to reduce or eliminate repayment of bilateral loans from wealthy countries and international lenders such as the World Bank.
A noteworthy advance toward these goals came in 1999, when the successor states to the former Soviet Union, including Russia, cancelled US$5 billion in debt contracted by the Derg, a step that cut Ethiopia’s external debt in half. HIPC relief is expected to total almost US$2 billion.

TPLF took the country without loan . Russia cancelled US$5 billion in debt contracted by the Derg .. after that the TPLF junta have got over 50 billion Dollars loan in the name of Dev`t but most of the money spent for corruption and to rebuild TIgray . There is no balanced development in Ethiopia.
