Canada could review Ethiopia aid over farm evictions

OTTAWA
- Millions of dollars in Canadian aid to Ethiopia could be under the microscope following reports tens of thousands of indigenous people are being forcibly relocated to make room for large, foreign-run farming operations.

The African nation is the third-largest recipient of Canadian foreign assistance, receiving nearly $170 million per year.

While much of that money is dedicated to maternal and child health, Canada has also contributed tens of millions towards improving Ethiopia's agricultural sector, working specifically toward improving the livelihoods of thousands of poor villages and farmers in the country.

In a report released this week, however, Human Rights Watch says approximately 70,000 indigenous people living in Ethiopia's Western Gambella region are being moved to new villages that don't have adequate food, farmland, health care or educational facilities.

Villagers who have resisted have been threatened, assaulted and arrested, the report adds.

Woyane twist the attention of GROSS human rights crimes over Ethiopians by murdering tourists and blame it on Eritrea. Woyane knows how weak, divided and helpless are the opposition groups to bring some change in Ethiopia.
Meles and his gang looth resources and send his merceneries to scream Eritrea this and Eritrea that over Naz to confuse Ethiopians.
How many times did woyane lie to his teeth and exposed on the spot? When the people of Ethiopia start to see the light, woyane must warn you from Eritrea and you guys keep trusting the evil who play you like dolls:)

What a Joke !!!As if Canadian Authorities are not aware how the crime minister with his Agazis are using the aid to oppress the peoples. In the name of Geostratigical Interests ,Western governments have willingly shut their eyes on the "Human Right Violation Crimes"comitted by the TPLF Tyrant and the SS Agazis .

Human Rights Watch has an ax to grind with the Ethiopian government based on deeply seated ideological differences between the Ethiopian government and neoliberal forces in the west.

The Canadian government should carry out its own independent investigative assessments to determine the credibility and real motive of the HRW allegations. There are many times HRW allegations in many countries was proved inaccurate.

This is what you call "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"
Canada.com seems trying to attract readers. At the end it says, "he (the canadian govt official) did not say whether Canada is considering further action." So what is your point. The Canadian govt and the whole world in this matter know, that Ethiopian govt never commited any wrong doing. You're only barking on the wrong tree.
Well, the long awaited propaganda offensive against Ethiopia has began!! On cyber space that is! Can we call you CYBER TIGERS?

United Nations Declaration
on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Article 26
1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
2. Indigenous peoples have the right to own, use, develop and control the lands, territories and resources that they possess by reason of traditional ownership or other traditional occupation or use,
as well as those which they have otherwise acquired.
3. States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands,
territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with
due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned.

Neither the alien imposed federation of secession, Katuri or any other neo-colonial enterprise has a legal foot to stand on. Ethiopians from all regions of the empire demand their entitlement to gasha of freehold land to be past down from generation to generation in order to increase their standard of living be restored and respected, immediately, as well as respect to the United Nations universal declarations of indigenous rights and human rights, taking into consideration Article 15
(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.

The repugnancy of the neo-colonial regime of ethnic federalism continues to deny Ethiopians at home and abroad of their nationality and land rights enunciated in Ethiopia's Constitutional Monarchy, the only law abiding constitution for Our nation which upholds the fundamental liberties and freedom of Our peoples which is to be protected through the Charter of the United Nations, enabling Ethiopians to rise and take all measures possible at home and abroad to eliminate the neo-colonial forces of alien interests, exploitation and lawlessness from our Great Nation.
The alien imposed federation of secession in Ethiopia, will claim that Ethiopians are not being evicted from their rural dwellings by force but voluntarily, yet the Ethiopians who are being evicted from their land by the alien puppets of lawlessness, are subject to threats and intimidation at gunpoint leaving them with the option of torture and imprisonment or so-called voluntary villagization?
We urge Canada and all donors of the illegitimate regime to cease any economic assistance to that criminal group which is constantly denying indigenous Ethiopians their land rights, fundamental liberties and freedoms under the United Nations universal declaration of human rights. This colonial type exploitation has contributed to the hyperinflation on essential food items as demand has outstripped supply causing many Ethiopians to go to bed hungry. Outsiders who are the wealthy financial backers of the alien imposed federation continue to turn a blind eye to this neo-colonial exploitation, for they themselves are reaping the benefits of stolen gold and commodity exports from stolen lands whilst trying to make themselves look good by providing the regime with annual political repressive food handouts which are far less valuable and nutritional as those crops produced on Ethiopian soil which are being exported away from the farmer, as the regime continues to deny the farmer his right to land and his crops which he helped produce through his own sweat and labour. Although there is a positive future to come out of this neo-colonial sufferage, that is that the neo-colonial regime will become more hated amongst Ethiopians, and Ethiopians will rise to reclaim land which is rightfully theirs, disregarding all the phony laws of ethnic federalism to the point of evicting the alien puppets from office.

'In our own times, there are those expansionists who by shedding blood, desire to achieve their ambition and by dismembering themselves they are seen as tools for alien interests. Our people from Ethiopia shed blood, to save them from disintegration. Those personalities who believe in freeing a country by secession are selfish and prey to outsiders. We will not accept their motives.' Selected speeches of HIM Negus Haile Selassie I, page 426

"Neo-colonialism today takes two forms: economic and political. We recognize that economic dominance is not only often the more difficult to eliminate, but often serves as the entering wedge for political domination. We further recognize that, given the history of our continent, and the conditions under which we came to freedom, it is not unusual that, despite our best efforts, the economic independence which we seek is long and difficult in coming. Long-established patterns of trade are not easily or quickly reoriented. Let us not delude ourselves in thinking that these facts, for such they are, are of no significance for the future of Africa. But let us, at the same time, toil with all our strength to alter them.
When we consider political neo-colonialism, our desires, although perhaps no less difficult of attainment, are at least easier of articulation. We seek to avoid a rigid and inflexible posture which prejudices our position on major issues before the world. We seek to avoid alignment, to achieve true non-alignment. Our late good friend, H.E. Prime Minister Nehru of India, put it thus: 'The only camp we should like to be in is the camp of peace and goodwill.'" Selected Speeches of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, page 269-70

"The fundamental obstacle to the realisation of the full measure of Ethiopia's agricultural potential has been, simply stated lack of security in the land. The fruits of the farmer's labour must be enjoyed by him whose toil has produced the crop." Selected speeches of HIM Negus Haile Selassie I, pages 492-3

"The aim of those leaders that is based on ambition for power and personal gain is one with no firm foundation and will, consequently, crumble easily." Selected Speeches of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, page 471

"For those of you who possess the land and labour but lack capital, We have made credit available at low interest. For those of you who have the necessary capital but do not possess land to work on, We have, in accordance with Our proclamation which entitled every Ethiopian to ownership of land, established offices in every province through which you may be able to acquire land. Those who have neither land nor money will be granted land and a financial loan at low interest. For those of you who possess land, who have financial resources and manpower, We have made experts available to furnish you with the necessary guidance and advice in your undertakings." Selected Speeches of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, page 486

"The longevity and tenacity of a building can be judged by its foundation." Selected Speeches of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, page 495

"Every structure must be built on a solid foundation, for those constructed otherwise would soon collapse. The proclamation by which We made land grants to the entire Ethiopian people is the foundation of this scheme." Selected Speeches of HIM Haile Selassie I, page 487

"Man can only begin an enterprise it is for God to dispose of it to a good end." HIM Negus Haile Selassie I

Long Live the Constitutional Monarchy!
Long Live the African Unity!
Long Live the Charter of the United Nations!
Fire burn down the satanic star of secsession
Beka! Tinsae Moa Anbessa!
Gasha for Ethiopians!
Long Live Ethio-Eritean oneness!
The Lion of Judah shall crush every yoke of oppression and set the captives free!
Long Live Independent Ethiopia!

Shameful,
What a true and fitting name to your character!! You are just fool. We know majority of Eriteans are a kind of clowns, fools, but your absurdity has no bounds. As you are forced to leave the soil of Ethiopia, you should have been removed from this site, had the owner of the site been a genuine Ethiopian.

Aid Reviewed?

Why don't they stop it completely.

We know the English type of so called aid is not to help and make self sufficient but to prolong their influence in order things are working for them for the loss of the country they intended to help.

You can stop your so called aid now. Then don't come to Ethiopia including your so called investors that are engaging including in a huge Potash mining in Ethiopia. Don't write, talk, spreading films and so on that 99.9% is intend to damage teh country and people image. We will confront and take you court. You have no right to damage any nation image you don't belong. It is a crime orchestrated by the English media, securities and politicians for so long to damage others image in order they to feel good.

From now on any English type of aid gets no power to play games against Ethiopia. Not with the English type of aid but only with the Chinese and the like's type of aid, trade, co-operation and so on we can develop our nation and free ourselves from the greedy western influence in the name of aid that is the main reason to keep the nation poor, weak and so on.

Let Canada and the likes stop their aid. After all it is not working. But, they must not have any place in Ethiopia. Your aid fret will not stop us from working for ourselves to become free from any foreign aid especially teh English type. This is the old western music and it is dead since 9/11 that changed the world dramatically and forever.

Just Ignore them and do our matters without asking any question or waiting permission. We are not interfering in their matter and we expect them to behave this in our internal matter. We are doing our best to be self reliance and therefore, soon we will reject their aid by ourselves because of our hard and good work. This is the way modern human does. The English type of aid is not an answer but a big obstacle.
We are getting the best aid support from China, Japan, Korea, India, Germany and the likes and it is good enough. The rest is in our hand. Ethiopia is teh best place for farming and their food aid must/jas no place in Ethiopia. we are/can and will produce by ourselves in our god given country. Ethiopia is a highland in the tropic and the mother of Nile.

Forget the United Nation, They are not there to help the Africans or third world countries, they are there to dominate you and to put you under their knees.
As long as the Government and the corporations who is interested to obtain the area for economic development, build new houses with enough water supplies, electricity and sewer system for the villagers.I do not see any problem at all.
First, they must supply them all their neccessities.
All these white foxs want us to live in total darkness; they do not want us to flourish, to be self supportive and they always want to be our God Fathers. Hell with the foriegn Aid!!! Let them Shove it!!!
Instead of echoing what you read from those foriegn newsletters written by some retarded journalists we should strengh our unity and show our muscles what we can do for the better Ethiopia.
Government will change but The Land and the people will remain there forever. Let us Think for Far Future.
God Bless Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!

You said,"Government will change but The Land and the people will remain there forever."
My dear, please do not try to cheat us with words.
We know better the truth: The Ethiopian people must change this bad and insincere government, otherwise this bad government will destroy the country and its people.
Instead let us destroy this bad government and save the country and its people.

Now, the urgent task of all Ethiopians all over the world need to be ACTIVE ENGAGEment against the confused and taterring TPLF pariaha. in this respect the Ethio Canadians need to organize massive ralley in support of the proposed scrutiny of the Canadan goverment aid to Legese's TPLF. Ethiopians in Canada need to articlate the devastating effect of the TPLF policy regarding the forced relocations of poor peasants.
Beside, it is high time for the rest of Ethiopians who are linving all over Europe,Australia and N.America to take to the streets and demand western nations to stop supporting vecious tyrants,an act that helps even the tyrants to feel emboldend to further accelerate the destractive policy.There is growing discontent among the general population in N.America respecting defecit ,and foreign aid.There is already a grass root movement who that is making its measage to be received.It is enough to say that the public is demanding the U.S ooficials to cut foreign aid to unresponsible tyrants.Inother world the public is demanding a restructuring of economic policies that will creat jobs at home,reduce the deficit,and curtail foreign aid.this is not time to sleep; the Ethiopian oppostion need to organize protest movement across the globe and demand governments to stop supporting the TPLF tyrant.What is more ,if we like to see immidate effect,we need to educate activists in the grass root movement what the effect of western aid to the poor of Ethiopia.

Yes,soon other naieve leaders of Europe and Canada will completely cut off the robber's regime from the easy money that they have been putting into thier bank accounts.Then,Zinawi's day shall roll in at high speed to its end.At this time,Zinawi is worried a lot and would not make up his mind as to where to be exiled.If China is his choice,well and good,the chinese communists will be asked to extradite Zinawi,the robber to the crimes that he has been committed for years;definitely,the chinese communists will ask Ethiopians for the ransom to send Zinawi back to Ethiopia,and Ethiopians will pay any amount in order to have Zinawi in their hand.
