'Feed the World' by force of arms- humanitarian intervention against Ethiopia 1984/85

[Melvin Loh]

Is there any way that in 1984/85, instead of the Live Aid/Band Aid music campaign, the international community reacted to the images of Ethiopian children starving by launching a humanitarian intervention, a la Op RESTORE HOPE in 1992/93, to oust the Mengistu Marxist regime and facilitate the distribution of humanitarian aid ?

The Soviet Union would not have allowed the invasion of Dergist Ethiopia.

I don't see a major war caused by peace activists but I dont see Soviet going to war over Ethiopia ether.
