Hence I call upon the participants of the Forum on Indigenous issues:
To pressure the Ethiopian government to stop selling the nation‟s fertile land and begging for
food aid.
Ask this forum to adopt the principle that farmers in Ethiopia have natural right to plough
their land and get their livelihood.
Ask the UN and its concerned agencies to call special investigation on this serious matter
before it is too late and issues immediate resolution against the continued suffering of farmers
due to eviction and to undo the unfair law measures.
Inquire Ethiopia‟s regime for its failure to protect human, labour, land, and the environmental
right and the right to food and development.
Together we can end the injustice in Ethiopia and end the sufferings anywhere in the world,
and hence build a better world!!!
Thank you very much!!
