A member of a community of soldiers-turned-farmers plant crops around Negele, southern Oromia, Ethiopia, in this November 19, 2008 handout photo. The community, who live together in a former barracks on the edge of town, lost their entire crop to drought after a planting earlier this year, and are now trying again with borrowed seed which they must repay, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
