May 17, 2012 Dear President Obama: Your ... - Oakland Institute

Dear President Obama:
May 17, 2012
Your meeting at Camp David on May 19, 2012 to discuss food security with African leaders,
including Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, is a major opportunity to address what may
be the single largest man-made contributor to food insecurity on the continent today: largescale
land investments by foreign investors.
As you sit down with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, we ask you to consider the attached letter
signed by more than 8,000 supporters of the indigenous and local communities of Gambella –
70,000 people in all – who are being forcibly relocated to make land available for investment in
agriculture. There are plans to relocate an additional 150,000 people, most of whom are
subsistence farmers who have been able, until now, to feed their families without receiving
government or foreign aid over the last twenty years.
In addition to the many problems surrounding forced relocations, which include lack of
transparency and human rights abuses, the loss of ancestral lands where people farm equals
the loss of their ability to feed themselves. Farmers and pastoralists are being turned into
plantation workers in menial seasonal jobs that do not put food on the table or provide for their
basic needs. Against all evidence, the US ambassador to Ethiopia, Donald E. Booth, visited
Gambella in January 2012 and said he witnessed "the people of Gambella benefiting from the
fruits of development in the state." Mr. Booth seems unwilling to acknowledge any of the
abuse, violence, or coercion that human rights groups and the media have reported – he might
have witnessed it as well, had he been free to expand his visit beyond approved sites.
The African Union, the Committee on World Food Security, and a growing number of
international organizations and experts agree that the trend of large-scale land investments in
Africa constitutes a threat to food security in a number of countries.
According to the World Bank, more than 96 million acres, an area about the size of France, are
involved in large-scale land acquisitions. It is a troublesome and growing phenomenon. Fertile
lands where communities have tilled and gathered for generations are being leased, mostly to
foreign investors and primarily for export crops. Communities are relocated with promises of
improved quality of life with schools, health care, and better livelihoods. They are often left with
an inability to feed themselves and no new services or way to return to their previous homes.

The Oakland Institute’s recent field research in Ethiopia revealed a grim picture of violence,
coercion, and unrealized benefits by relocated communities. These findings are confirmed by
Human Rights Watch’s independent study involving 100 interviews and sixteen site visits this
year.
The burden of the Ethiopian government’s objective of economic growth is being borne by the
indigenous and local people of Gambella and the Lower Omo Valley, where a half million are
slated to be moved. This is too great a cost.
As Ethiopia is one of the largest recipients of US aid (more than $1 billion a year since 2007),
the US bears responsibility on matters of such grave consequence. Something has to be done
to ensure that we are not unwitting partners in this current tragedy.
We urge you to look beyond the charade of this so-called responsible investment that will
supposedly benefit all in the long run, and instead reassess the terms of US support to the
regime.
We hope that you will take leadership in responding to an international call asking you to put
the brakes on this impending and present-day catastrophe.
Sincerely,
Anuradha Mittal Obang Metho

President Barack Obama and Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID administrator
Dear President Obama and USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah:
By continuing to provide huge amounts of aid to Ethiopia, the US is in partnership with a
repressive regime that puts large-scale agricultural investment and for-profit access to
Ethiopia's fertile lands over the well-being and land rights of indigenous and local people.
The forced relocation of residents of Gambella has caused great hardship to tens of thousands
including rape, other violent acts, coercion, and intimidation. We do not believe that USAID
should support such endeavors and ask for due diligence in respect to the human rights of the
people of Gambella.
The US government should not condone these horrific acts as the price Ethiopians must pay for
development and food security in Ethiopia. We ask you to look at the facts regarding the kind
of investments occurring in Ethiopia and to ensure US assistance actually benefits local
communities and not just the interests of a minority.

Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights
to call for an investigation into the misuse of USAID aid by
the TPLF/EPRDF regime; however, the TPLF/EPRDF are
unlikely to be impartial and instead such an investigation
should be independent and include representation of the

world as a country of famine, food shortages, endemic
hunger, and chronic dependency on foreign aid. Despite
receiving billions of dollars in aid, Ethiopians remain
among the poorest in the world. Since early 2008, the
Ethiopian government has embarked on a process to
award millions of hectares (ha) of land to foreign and
national agricultural investors. Our research shows that at
least 3,619,509 ha of land have been transferred to
investors, although the actual number may be higher. The
Ethiopian government claims that these investments will
allow for much needed foreign currency to enter into the
economy and will contribute to long-term food security
through the transfer of technology to small-scale farmers.
Through interviews with impacted communities,
government officials, investors, civil society and others, this

report analyzes the situation “on the ground” and helps to
provide a real understanding — beyond the rhetoric and
hype — of the actual impacts of land investments on the
land and its people. The general findings of this research
include: Commercial investment will increase rates of food
insecurity in the vicinity of land investments. Despite
Ethiopia’s endemic poverty and food insecurity, there are
no mechanisms in place to ensure that these investments
contribute to improved food security. In addition, there are
numerous incentives to ensure that food production is
exported out of the country, providing foreign exchange for
the country at the expense of local food supplies.
Finally, while the Ethiopian government lists transfer of
technology as a major outcome of land investment, it has
established no mechanism for such transfers to take place.

268. S. Abebe Ottawa, Canada I have worked in Gambella including various parts of
Ethiopia. I know Gambella and Ethiopia very well. There
are many other onoccupied places in EThiopia where land
for agricultural developments are available and can leased
at a better price. Targeting Gambella is unfair. Is it
because the people of Gambella are few and poor and
they have no one to stand for them or is there a hidden
agenda why they are being displaced from their home
land?

farmers that is a criminal activity and has to stop. USA and

getting our land paying under the table for Meles Zenawi
and his cadres.
We condemn this criminal action and calling our people to
fight all who are colluding to robe their livelihood.
289. Daniel Abebe Moss, Norway I opposed the dictatorial regime of Meles Zenawi to give
the poor ETHIOPIAN peasant land for those rich not
Ethiopian people. Such kind of unfair things it aggravate
the peasant become unemployment & hunger. So the

must stop aid & stand with the poor Ethiopian peasant.

military force to enforce the farmers to leave their fertile
land and move some where which is not as productive as
their original one. I, therefore, ask Pr. Barack Obama and
Dr. Rejiv Shah to stop aid to Ethiopian leader, Meles

382. Elias Zerga Salisbury, Australia I think all human beings needs to be given those basic
rights as the right to live, speak, and perform some basic
activities with respect to the countries low. However, what
is happening in Ethiopia is completely the opposite and it is
even going to the worst. but the US is still supporting this
unti human right activity by few without the will of the
people. but i would like to at least tell my opinion to Pr.
Barack Obama and Dr. Rajiv Shah, that this is not going to
be a solution in the process of making a new peaceful
planet. Those people from the Gambella region of Ethiopia
are the part of the planet and no one can achieve the goal
by just forgetting some part of the planet and focus on the
other side. Therefore, please stop helping the Ethiopian
Government so you can let them know they are doing a big
mistake. Please let the human rights written on the
constitution be real. Please stop fake human right and
there should be the same and equal right to all human race
regardless of their color. and Let the low be able to look
after not only those who are in DC but also those who are
in Gambella to. Thanks!

about-taking advantage of those blameless by those only
blamed who continue to blaspheme and devise wicked
plans for power struggle, etc. It does not look good, it
doesn't sound good,and it surely does not follow in God's
law. Dr.Rajiv Shah, are you up to something? There is no
Oneness in this. How can it be? President Barack Obama
will lose votes. Even though big pockets always win, the
point is to be just and fair. That is my opinion and I hope
and pray that "the people"will actually start helping our

active investigation of how resources are being utilized, the
transfer of millions hectares of farmlands in the name of

favored domestic investors with out consultation and
consent of the local innhabitants, who have no other
means of leaving other than their land will not create

Richmond, Australia Dear President Obama,
As a community organizer, you understood that the
younger generation is the locomotive of change. You
directly addressed and motivated so many young
generations and middle income communities to embrace a
new agenda you called ‘change we believe in’. By so doing
you galvanized millions of young Ethiopian-Americans to
enrol for change and preached for peace, justice and
democracy not only in America around the world to
“happen now or never”. I was so excited watching history
being made - your election, to the highest office in the
world, as the first black president. The overwhelming
majority of Ethiopians, including myself, in America and
around the world supported your election for all the things
you said and strongly stood for. Unfortunately, that
message has not been either delivered or received in
Ethiopia or Africa. We have patiently waited for your
promises of peace, justice and democracy to shine on
Ethiopia and beyond. Although, we absolutely empathize
with you for the enormity of the scrambled tasks you have
inherited to fix, both at home and around the world, we
could not sustain the conditions in Ethiopia any longer and
we have no alternative but to address the issues to you so
you can take any action you may think is necessary. Thank
you.

I think it's terrible to read what is happening to the people
of Gambella. They should be able to grow their own food
on their own land and not be forced into dependence on
foreign aid. This is the opposite of what aid should be
about.
558. Senaite Habte honolulu, HI Land grabbing, relocating and exposing natives to harsh
elements of nature is a form of genocide. History is
repeating itself-colonization in the form of land grabbing.
"Ethiopian land to Ethiopians not to Indians, Arabs,
Chinese, Europeans ....). Please stop supporting Melese
zenawi and his inhumane actions.

561. Zeg Fanta Seattle, WA I was a Senior Cartographer in the Ministry of Land Reform
and Administration. During my career, part of my job was
identifying lands via various types of maps for planned
local, regional and national developments. The lands that
the regime of EPRDF/TPLF gave away like the other
territories are marked precious than lands of gold or
diamond deposites. They were part of lands planned for
large scale state farms for use in the event of crises if and
when the people become unable to produce using the
existing farm lands because of natural or human induced
catestrophe. Nothing would destroy Ethiopia and its people
effectively than depriving the people and the nation the
prime lands essential for the survival of generation. What
we see now is a system that is ending the existence and
continuity of the people and the nation. Any force should
stop and remove the region. Any means is necessary and
timely now!

576. K P Moseley Washington, DC Forced relocations to make way for dams, agricultural
projects, mines and so on are not only destructive of the
livelihoods, communities and cultures of the dispossessed.
They also tend to wreak havoc over far larger ecosystems,
and may not, in the end, even serve the interests of the
national economy. Certainly the United States need not aid
nor abet such projects.

the source of all mess in Ethiopia, Meles is an illegitimate
leader, who has taken control of Ethiopia by force while
robbing the people of the country of their national
resources. Meles the name of "silent killer" ,is the 9th worst
of the worst leader in the world ( Prof. Gregor Ayittey 2010
edition), & constantly amoung the world top 10 enemies of
the press/ Freedom of Speech since he came to power in
1991 (accourding to CPJ, Reports Without
Borders,HRW,,,reports)
Infact, in the last 20 years, under Meles direct command
his federal police forces shot dead thousands of innocent
civilians & opposition party members , according to some
sources , today 30-50 thousand political prisoners/
prisoners of conscience in Ethiopia, who have committed "
State" crimes by exercising their guaranteed " Human &
Democratic Rights ". Besides, in the name of investment,
Meles has placed Ethiopia under the market forces of
globalization so as to sell or lease its fertile lands to
international land-grabbers, the colonial regime of Zenawi
has been violently evicting the Ethiopian villagers from
their homes and farmlands because his motto is “sell and
eat today and die tomorrow.” According to Oakland
Institute sources, this time in Gambella only estimated that
75% of the domestic Investors which is widely to receive
beneficial treatment in relation to investment and given
land freely & receive preferential access to credit were
from Tigray (Zenawi’s ethnic group people) such a practice
is a kind of Colonialism. Therefore, please, open your mind
& heart to help our people & be part of the voice of the
voiceless Ethiopian. Thank you.
843. Ken Thesing Nairobi, Kenya I first came to Tanzania in 1972. Hunger and agricultural
development have been part of my life since. There are
varying opinions on how best to achieve 'food security.' But
simply removing people from their land without FIRST
preparing for their care and future is unconscionable.

920. M. Messai NY, NY President Obama, are you and your Administration about
to give financial support to Ethiopia’s autocratic ruler,
Meles Zenawi, to help him carry out his cruel villagization
program? Zenawi’s government is forcibly removing the
Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, Somali and Afar peoples
from their ancestral lands and deliberately turning whole
communities into internally displaced peoples in their own
country. Those refusing to be relocated are imprisoned or
killed. Shame on US Ambassador Booth, claiming that the
Gambella people are benefiting from the fruits of
development, when many human right organizations and
reputable journalists have written to the contrary.
Environmentalists are also concerned that clearing more
than 3.5 million hectares of land for the planned farms
could have a detrimental impact on the environment,
because many trees have to be cut which would destroy
Ethiopia's protected game reserves, as well as the wildlife.
The UN, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the UN
World Food Programme and the World Bank have all
written against such a policy in Ethiopia where famine
stalks the country every other year. It is alleged that the
Ethiopian government has leased out an area the size of
France for 99 years, which is expected to generate a
lucrative business. Global Financial Integrity’s (GFI) report
dated May 12, 2011 “Illicit Financial Flows From the Least
Developed Countries, 1990-2008” lists Ethiopia as the
ninth top exporter of US$8.4 billion of illicit capital. As a tax
payer, I am also against my tax dollars going to such a
brutal ruler.

land ti build 8 land highways and fancy upper class
apartment complexes is clearly one of the reasons they are
now taking away Ethopia's land. These investors need to
be required to give up and grow food on their own land
instead of putting down more and more concrete.

Rome, GA For shame to take land away from it's own people. Cut

own citizens.
1,573. A Pate Trinidad, CO I have not researched specifically which big-moneyed
investors might be trying to buy this specific land - land
already providing sustenance for already living people and
communities. But I do know prominent American
universities have in some cases used endowment funds for
these purchases in current time.
I also know this is an "old" story in human affairs, (previous
famines in different lands, including the Irish potato
famine!) The outrage of people being dispossessed from
land in current times is seen in Mexico following NAFTA. It
is also documented in Frances Moore Lappe's book "Food
First", published around 1970.
This practice is an outrage committed by those "of
privilege". It is a crime in moral terms, and is rooted in
greed. That it continues bodes ill for 21st Century
humanity.

STOP THIS RAPE OF THE NATIVE PEOPLES LAND.
Why is the US goverment aiding and abetting the theivery
of these peoples land by relocating them to make fertile
land they live on available for investment for Agriculture
Moguls. Is it the wish of the US goverment to let these
people die of starvation by moving them to non-productive
land that they will be unable to grow food on and feed
themselves. This is totally dispicable but then the 1%
couldn't give a damn as long as they can take over the
control of food in this world.

Pittsburgh, PA Big Ag has caused enough damage to the land and people
around the world. We must move away from big
conventional agriculture and move towards sustainable
farming. Small farms are more sustainable to the land and
environment, and provide more jobs that are lasting and
provide a higher quality life for more people. Please don't
support this atrocity in Ethiopia! Thank you for your time
and efforts.

among indigenous and tribal peoples, to destroy wildlife
habitats and corridors, and to disrupt rain patterns. In fact,
the agricultural plantations of Africa have been linked to
the seemingly perpetual droughts there. It is time to stop

they could grow for themselves. Forcing people off of land
will only disrupt families and cultures.

2,273. Jackson nanje Douglasville, GA I stand for solidarity and the protection of indigene rights to
land ownership. In Ndian division in Cameroon, investors
have signed a similar pact with the government of
Cameroon to use 70,000hectares of land for palm
plantation, without due consultation with the indigenes.
Currently, the indigenes of Ndian division are waging a
similar fight. So, as a people whose problems are similar, I
stand in shoulder with the Gambella people of Ethiopia to
say no the land grabbing, no to family displacement, yes to
dialogue with the indigenes and let their opinions be the
guiding force to any project in their land.

is it not?...how difficult it must be to think of a little mind ,
an adults mind..when they try to find answers as to why
they are so disrespected.no matter how hard they try in
their own country..we know of that.. is that not why the
health plan was implemented against Hitler mongers in our
own country. (and I know malnutrition first hand) they that
cannot feed their children, parents, themselves..as they
are.suffering malnutrition; they are called lazy and
useless...my God what horrific people we are to watch this
unnecessary happening. Bill and Melinda Gates and the
few others cannot do it all. This is worse than Iraq.
We have know the corrupt government..selling out to the
ones who feel they can, in my mind steal this beautiful
country in Africa.. A country long neglected given crumbs
only. Truthful, I feel the average Joe fears the black
man...and we know whites are a minority in this world.. and
I am white..truth us truth..I love God's people and count
myself blessed when I have have love and respect from
another , Black Asian, Muslim... We have been part of the
crucifiction.
We have denied monies to cultivate land properly to have
our great minds we so proudly educate, create a water
source that can reach wonderful soil rich soil that needs
irrigation..to farmlands and living communities. We could
merge tradition with high tech so as not to redefine the
African but show them we appreciate their beauty and
ways, but we have offerings to assist them in building their
country as Americans and Europeans did theirs. Has no
country not been down and out and needed assistance..? I
think so .. What is the song.."this is my country, the land of

2,720. Charli Stubbs Whitewater, CO I lived in Ethiopia during the late 60's when it was ruled by
Emperor Haile Selassie. He tried to make sure girls got
schooling and that the people were able to farm and feed
themselves. It's sad that the people are being betrayed by
their leaders who simply want to line their pockets. These
people deserve better then they are getting. I'd like the
Ethiopian leadership to explain their actions.

starving in so many parts of Africa then that's admirable,
but why can't you employ and provide housing for the
people you're forcing to move to work on these farms? But
if you're forcing people off viable land on to land where
nothing will grow, that's no better than genocide under a
different name.

2,929. Oliver Seely Lakewood, CA The U.S. has an abysmal record of knowing best how to
make faraway peoples live their lives. Now it would appear
that it is doing it again, by supporting lucrative projects of
mechanized agriciulture, never mind the cultural customs
and tribal dynamic of the people who live there. I say keep
your hands off. Try other things which produce jobs
consistent with exiting customs and allow the next
generation to make the demands for change: education,
communication, family planning, health care.

food for their countries. Those lands should be used to
feed the people of Africa. The jobs should all go to their
people. The Ethiopian people should be farming their own

Sag Harbor, NY I taught in Ethiopia at the Haile Sellassie I University and
came to oppose American support for him, but Meles is far
worse. Nothing seems to change but this must not be
allowed to happen. American supported Haile Sellassie
because of the Cold War and he was overthrown anyway.
America supports Meles because of the War on Terror and
he will eventually be overthrown as well. Doing the same
thing over and over and expecting a different result is
insanity. Doesn't CIA ever learn anything? I warned them
what was going to happen then and the reaction was
hostility. I was right then and I am right now.

3,357. Dinah Fuentes San Rafael, CA Money is necessary for the people of Ethiopia but how we
use it, our intent must be morally sound. We must keep
those of interest whom are only interested in investment
AWAY for they are not there for the welfare of the people.
Please Use your discretion otherwise I see are very dire

land. They need us but not to be bleeded by shady
investors that will destroy the environment and their
communities and make their situation even graver. Please
do what is morally right!

possibility IF they were being moved to a place where they
can sustain themselves on fertile land with water available.
Something needs to be done~ I really don't have the
solution~ but the droughts and starving people need help. I
don't think bringing in large scale agricultural plantations
while dislocating the people is the solution. Can't money be
spent on helping them to farm their lands with help with
wells and irrigation? You know much more than I do about
this so ,please help these people how to farm the land to
feed themselves,not let outsiders come in and take over. If
outsiders can farm this land then the Ethiopian people
should be helped to do the same. Thank you,in advance,

3,659. Brandie McCrory Milton, MA This land belongs to the people who live there. This land is
suppose to be used to feed them. Why is the government
allowing this to happen and does it make any sense to
evict thousands of nearly starving people just to give it to a
foreign investors who will not support, care, give back, and
feed the countries own. When will they learn that life
always surpasses money.

Please use the quite potent stick you hold over Ethiopia to
encourage them to refrain from divesting themselves of
their own land and handing it over to corporate
agribusiness. It will be a cycle from which they will never
escape as a nation, further compounding poverty with
terrible working conditions. Instead use the $1 billion
annual carrot to encourage Ethiopia to reform its land
ownership laws so that Ethiopians themselves can be the
owners and stewards of their own wonderful country.
I appreciate the hard work you both do to facilitate the
betterment of humanity across the globe.

need their land to feed themselves! For far too long,
Ethiopians have endured dire poverty, starvation and
worse. It's time for the deepest compassion. Let them stay
on their land! Persuade the Ethiopian government to say
no to foreign agricultural investors and say yes to
Ethiopians!

Nairobi, Kenya The divisive, dictatorial and ethno-centric regime of
Ethiopia are selling out fertile lands to foreign investors
without the will of the people. They evicted indigenous
people from their ancestral land and threw in to inferno.
This dictatorial regime led by Meles Zenawi has
perpetrated systematic genocide against the people of
Gambella. However the UN member countries and the
United State of America give a blind eyes and deaf ears to
the desperate indigenous people ordeals.The world must
take swift action against the dictator who has been
engaged in systematic genocide.

america to be the, "prosperous", country that it is. It caused
for centuries of inhumane treatment to the indigenous

another group of human beings. There are a lot of

4,484. Laura Molinario Kansas City, MO
4,485. Robert Knight Vestal, NY The US government forcibly relocated our native
Americans in violation of US treaties with those native
peoples, & in violation of their human rights, and gave their
lands to American settlers and businesses. America, with
its financial clout in Ethiopia, now can begin to make
amends by standing on the side of 70,000 people from
Gambella, to stop this land grab. Americans must answer
the question: is OUR government on the side of the 1% or
on the side of the 99%? When America gives $1 billion per
year to Ethiopia, does America insist that the $1 billion
goes to the everyday people of Ethiopia and groups
representing them? Think about it. Its great to know that
the American people are watching these developments
and speaking up! Respectfully submitted.

bring riches, but eventually will lead to unrest and warfare.
4,999. Richard Nelson Lombard, IL The Ethiopian people have suffered through drought and
starvation. Now their Governemnt wish's to steal the lands
they live on, the lands they work to produce food for their
families. All so they can make profit by leasing these lands
to farming companies, so they my grow food to be sold in
other countries. In the meantime, the USA sends 7 billion
dollars a year to help try and feed the people of Ethiopia.
Leasing these lands will not provide the people of Ethiopia
jobs or food to feed the starving masses. This must not be
allowed, I call on President Obama to tell the Ethiopian
Government that if they take these lands from their own
people the US will cut off add to the Ethiopian
Government.

charity or payment in advance for the right to take what
you wanted? Surely you have enough land, use your aid to
make the investment in their agriculture, their people, their
children, their future.

Land and freedom for the indigenous people of all the
earth... I think it is especially disgusting, and adds insult to
injury, that this is being camouflaged as some sort of
"aid"...
5,243. nanette saucier Soquel, CA Since I was a child (45 years ago), I can remember
Ethiopia having starving children. We saved our pennies
for children around the world like them. Can you please
consider what you can do to protect the families in Ethiopia
now? Thank you.

5,273. Obang Omot Saskatoon, Canada Forced Relocations is cruel, immoral, inhumane and it
must stop. Arbitrary arrests, and forced relocation are other
tools of one Ethnic dominated regime (the TPLF). Acts of
ethnic cleansing, forced relocation, and political
suppression against the indigenous people of Gambella
and Ethiopia as whole has become official policies of the
TPLF. These land grabs are a new form of neo-colonialism
that leaves large parts of Africa in the hands of foreign
states and investors while displaced local populations are
left to suffer and go hungry. The act of engaging in such
behavior is certainly immoral and inhumane and it should
stop. Long live Ethiopia.

5,785. Richard Hendricks Webster, NY You know, the vast majority of Ethiopians and Africans in
general may find this land-grab offer as another form of
institutional racism from abroad. You know it's bad enought
that Nigeria have to allow many of it's people in the
Nigerian Delta to live and in shockingly unspeakable living
conditions because oil companies had display them into
extreme poverty, but they way the Ethiopian Government
would have the nerve to force 70,000 of it's people off their
land makes it almost as bad. Those 70,000 Ethiopians
happen to have rights too, you know. So the best thing to
do right now is let the 70,000 Ethiopians keep their land,
that way the United States and Ethiopia will avoid a major
conflict from taking place somewhere in Africa.

standard of treating their OWN people. They are
ACTUALLY willing to create and an even WORSE
starvation situation by letting FOREIGNERS(!?!) to take

LIVE???? Let them know in no uncertain terms that they
are monsters if they remove those poor people off that

does a great job on its own -- why can't Ethiopia? I just

Land grabs played a large negative role in paving the path
for my home state of Hawaii. Today we are still feeling the
effect of land grabs that happened with the overthrow of
the Hawaiian government over a hundred years ago. We
should prevent them from taking place.

environmental health, for local economies, and for feeding
the hungry of the world. Small, local organic agriculture is
far more efficient and productive in all ways, not to mention
healthier for all life! Do not be fooled! Support the true road
to progress for ALL, not big bucks for the few (big
business)and negatives for everyone and everything else.
You can have a huge influence on making this damaging
trend toward big ag a thing of the past. Please help us molt
out of this simplistic, exploitive paradigm. Thank-you.

prevent this.

By continuing to provide huge amounts of aid to Ethiopia,
the US is in partnership with a repressive regime that puts
large-scale agricultural investment and for-profit access to
Ethiopia's fertile lands over the well-being and land rights
of indigenous and local people.

The forced relocation of residents of Gambella has caused
great hardship to tens of thousands including rape, other
violent acts, coercion, and intimidation. We do not believe
that USAID should support such endeavors and ask for
due diligence in respect to the human rights of the people
of Gambella.
The US government should not condone these horrific acts
as the price Ethiopians must pay for development and food
security in Ethiopia. We ask you to look at the facts
regarding the kind of investments occurring in Ethiopia and
to ensure US assistance actually benefits local
communities and not just the interests of a minority.
we stand for our motherland

This cannot be, greed over the wellbeing of innocent
people. It is nothing wrong with agriculture but ONLY if
there is honest oversight that the 70,000 residence are
included and NOT relocated. They do not need large-scale

agriculture planning to help the population to be able to
feed their families. Otherwise it is a crime against

Please be a voice for Ethiopian families being removed

Mesa, AZ Ethiopia is among the poorest countries in the world. The
people who live there need the land to cultivate and
provide for their families. If America is to remain a great
country, it needs to look after and protect the needs of the
poor across the world. Actions such as this are

7,160. Hailu Kebede Stockholm, Sweden As you know, at the moment my country is under the worst
dictatorship we have ever faced in our history. This
dictatorship is ethnic based and commits atrocities such as
massacres, genocide, starvation and incitement of
interethnic conflicts and preaching and spreading of hatred
among the different communities. It employs the old
colonial method of divide and rule. Farmers that are
accused of supporting and voting for the opposition parties
are systematically abused and punished through the denial
of access to fertilizers, improved seeds, humanitarian help
and other social services. They are evicted from their fertile
farming lands which are leased to foreign investors from
China, India and Saudi Arabia and forced to settle
elsewhere without adequate provisions and support. The
newly graduating students will be denied jobs and further
education opportunities if they do not become the
members and supporters of the ruling party or front.
Membership and loyalty to the authorities are the keys to
job and higher education opportunities. Civil servants lose
their jobs for the same reasons. The government has
enacted different draconian laws including the
anti-terrorism law mainly aimed at penalizing dissent,
curbing freedom of expression, free media and cracking
down on its opponents and pro-democracy activists.

indigenous people.

happened in Madagascar. Land grab, because the
produce is only to be shipped out of the country, it does
not bring a technology transfer or wealth to the country in
general but to some sellected elite. Land grab because of
its greedy tendency it b
prohibits genuin invastors from participating in the
countries economy.

Geneva, Switzerland We understand why we become a “beggar nation” like
Ethiopia which cannot feed many of its people, which is
suffering from famine, perennial food shortages, endemic
hunger, and chronic dependency on foreign aid, is selling
off its fertile lands and natural resources to foreign
agro-businesses to grow food that will be exported to their
own countries. Ethiopia is currently experiencing its worst
drought and famine in sixty years due to “Land Grab”, and
the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian
citizens, under the 20-year old authoritarian and brutal
regime of dictator Meles Zenawi, which is leasing Ethiopian
land for up to 99 years to foreign businesses and
governments without any significant consultation with the
people most affected.
The regime 'woyane' is running out time, dying very soon.
Let's work together!
under divided and conquered police there is not
democracy, it is not investment it is just land grap should
stop now.

forcing to relocate Ethiopians from their land is great

This type of agriculture does not solve anything, it creates
worse - the relocated becomes a refugee in their own
country. ...... and the agric corporation/foreign investment
becomes rich but does not share - IMMORAL!
Columbus, OH The impact of relocation will certainly create an irreversible
calamity, which will add to a regional problem in Somalia,
with the potential to spread to Sudan & Kenya. If these
Ethiopian lands show farming potential at large scales, why
can't the government undertake this endeavor locally to
benefit its people than selling land internationally; except
that it is for the benefit of a few?
I fail to understand how the world body can allow such a
devious program to be undertaken by a corrupt
government, in concert with a few greedy international
investors, at the demise of a people. Moving is not a
readily welcome process, and we all know even with
convenient urban amenities how much of a hassle it is, let
alone moving entire villages en-mass, for what, financial
benefit of a few.
We cannot, and should not allow these draconian behavior
to continue to punctuate our legacies. It is very convenient
and equally appalling for the U.S. to support and be in
cahoots with Meles Zenawi and his repressive regime in

I don't believe in them being well planned and properly
executed. There is always a high probability of corruption
on both sides. Instead of letting local population using that
money for progressive economic and social
development those funds just disappear in deep pockets of
corrupt officials leading to various social and military
conflicts and growing number
of refugees. It's more than stupidity to clear forests (!) in
Africa. It's a crime. Especially when it's done by foreign
corporations. Africa is being practically raped socially and
economically by the so-called developed world for
centuries and all evil regimes there are first gladly fostered
by foreign governments and then brutally attacked when
they believe the time for a new puppet has come.

feudal lord’s native country. It seems that the world is in a
reverse gear back to the time where might makes it right.
After all, Land Grab is a synonym to a robbery in a broad
day light, by proxy of course, and in a grand scale. The
difference is this one is conveniently named "Investment"
therefore not only misleading but also a cruel joke.
It must stop!

What is happening in Gambella today is merely an
'overture' to what will be happening in the Lower Omo
Valley over the next year. The Ethiopian government has
shown no willingness to engage with constructive criticism
and advice from those who have a detailed knowledge of
the land and people of the Lower Omo and who are
long-standing friends of Ethiopia. A huge moral
responsibility therefore rests on Western donors (not least
my own government which gives more foreign aid to
Ethiopia than to any other country) to stand up for the
rights and welfare of thousands of vulnerable and politically
marginalised people in Gambella and the Lower Omo.
8,083. David Way Lakeview, OR Raphael Lemkin on the original meaning of the word
'genocide':
"Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean
the immediate destruction of a nation, except when
accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation.
It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of
different actions aiming at the destruction of essential
foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of
annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such
a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social
institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion,
and the economic existence of national groups, and the
destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity,
and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such
groups."
Why is the US government assisting a government bent on
"villagization"? Is that just an Orwellian term for genocide?
I wonder what Custer and Sitting Bull would have to say
about all this...

while the people of Ethiopia are starving instead of stealing
money and depositing on western countries including Asia,
If he was concerned about the country. The great farmers
are hard working he could have bought for the money
tractors and furtlizers and bring people from Ethiopia to
train them further in agricltural proficiencies. What he does
is testing his boundries how much he can get away with.
Trust me we all will fight until the last person of us. We
have never seen in Ethiopian history all the millitary is
controlled by one etnicity, the countries wealth
concentrated on the government and his cronies. If he has
not learn in the past and blind and deaf his day will come.
5million Tigray can not control over 70million Ethiopian.
Including his cronie who is blind and deaf who
underestimate ethiopian power we are quiet people but we
will rise his sheik alhamoudie should go back where he
came from. Who knows what his agenda is trying to buy
few poor ethiopians by giving them some money. Well it's

invaders to save a land where we can have pride and
belong to you have to kill all of us before you can take it
away.
One good thing you did for us is we are unifyed today more
than ever because we start questioning everybodies
motive. All this poor Anuak, and Amhara, Oromo and
muslims that has been killed you'll pay the price soon very
soon. God is on our side....and we are determined..
8,199. MESFIN TAYE Stockholm, Sweden It is very unacceptable and frustrating to see a country like
the USA, an iconic nation for human rights and democracy,
supporting despotic regimes like Mr Zenawi's government
and their wicked agenda to stay in power and continue
their abuse on their own poor citizens. Dear President
Obama, please stop this insanity.

8,201. Emnet Bekalu Calumet Park, IL Mr. Meles Zenawi is a tribalist and brutal dictator who is
responsible for the death of millions of people by creating
war, imprisonment, genocide, ethnic based murder and
eviction of people from their properties. He is against
freedom, equality, democracy and humanity in general.
Inviting this inhuman dictator for G8 summit means
endorsing genocide and all forms of inhumanity he is
exercising on Ethiopian people. We like to remind for G8
summit that without freedom and democracy it is
absolutely impossible to solve the problems of hunger or

food security in Ethiopia or anywhere else. It is also
important to take into consideration that be partnering with
this absolute dictator for temporary interest is losing people
of Ethiopia as strategic partner and great friend.

8,203. Nigist Solomon Costa Mesa, CA Ethiopians have been subjected to hunger, human right
abuse for the last 20 years under meles zenawi and it is
time for the world recognize the brutality his party. We are
outraged countries who claim to stand for freedom and
democracy invite this dictator to discus a fundamental
issue. Meles has sold million of hectares of fertile lands to
foreigners when his own farmers remain hungry. If you
truly stand for freedom and democracy, then it is for you to
stop supporting this dictator.

8,207. Eshete Hailu Orilia, Canada To invite Meles to a discussion on food security is worse
than the usual hypocritical stand the US adminsitration is
known for taking on democracy and human right issuse. It
is public knowledge that Meles' regime is making Ethiopia
food insecure by denying Ethiopians' access to land while
giving it away to foreigners.

8,217. Yedilaklil Hunde canyon, TX The US should not subsidize dictatorships. The hypocrisy
of vilifying the likes of Bashir, Asaad and Ahmedinajad
while pampering the likes of Meles is not lost on any keen
observer. This uneven treatment of dictators is eroding the
prestige and frankly moral authority of the US on the
international scene.

8,251. Ghennet Girma Paris, France Land grabbing victims in Ethiopia are not just minorities or
ethnic groups. This dictatorial regime is at logger heads
with all sectors of society and has been using ethnicity and
even religion to divide and rule. Human rights advocates
are expected to stand against all abuses and for all
affected sectors. Let us not be instrumental by following
the same divisive approaches. Under such dictatorships it
is the human rights of all citizens that are denied, including
that of the girl child.
