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

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