Presenter Reverend Peter Owen-Jones travels to Negash, in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia, where he visits a Muslim community and discusses their responses to repeated droughts and famine. He recalls distressing TV images of famine in the 1980s, contrasting it with the beauty of the countryside in the Ethiopian highlands. In the valley of Negash he visits the first Muslim settlement in Sub-Saharan Africa and joins in with a prayer meeting. He talks with people about the problem of suffering and whether their prayers are ever left unanswered. He gives a personal reflection on how his experiences have not matched his rather uneasy expectations.
