		It cannot have been an easy decision to sever budget support worth around £50m for one of the poorest countries in the world, but Hilary Benn, the international development secretary, was right to take a strong line against Ethiopia.
		Mr Benn said there had been a "breach of trust" since more than 80 people have been killed in protests by the opposition following last year's disputed elections amid widespread accusations of vote-rigging.
		The money, earmarked for education, health and other priorities, will now be channelled through aid agencies and local organisations with a better chance of getting it through to the people who need it rather than being given to a warring government where anything could happen.

		Only four years after becoming an MP, Hilary Benn, who has been appointed international development secretary, has finally vindicated the numerous descriptions of him as a "rising star" within the Labour party.
		Today's appointment makes him the third in the family to be made a cabinet minister (after his father Tony, who was industry secretary from 1974-79, and his grandfather Viscount Stansgate, secretary of state for India from 1929-31).
		Although he is clearly his father's son in looks, mannerisms and charm, he has so far steered clear of Tony Benn's hard-left politics, describing himself as "a Benn, but not a Bennite".
