The Great Modern Land Grab of Africa- 2010

In Ethiopia, farms backed by foreign investors are growing with abundance, while indigenous farmers subsist on food aid. How is it remotely possible that the world community can stand aside and allow this unlikely abundance for an elite few in a land notoriously known for famine?

This video was reproduced, from its original version which aired on PBS , as a submission to the 2010 World Economic Forum on Africa -Davos debates. Here is the original http://farmlandgrab.org/12321

stop talking so much about yourself

[Zabatsion]

to have energy security does investors buy Arab lands of the oil producing countries? why then to have food scurity african lands have to be bought by investors? this is unjustice that lead to unstability, and these investors should know that the land they grab is thier grave yard

guys just take the land back when you want. They know that as a risk already so they shouldn't bother

I think, we black people are dummy.

We were colonized for long time.

When it is over , now another form of colonization pops up.

I doubt , we blacks have the same IQ level as the rest of the race in the world.

nearly One year since this uploaded. I cant find your name > Excellent report. I wonder how far it went to affect events. We need to coordinate and at least pressure should continue.
