Eana Chung Washington, DC 8,082. David Turton Oxford, United Kingdom 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...
