Ethiopia is, within its right' to develop the area. Mind your own business or pay us to keep the animal refugee. You care more for the animals than the people. Shame Reply \| Reply with quote \| Quote # manga 2011-02-20 17:28 This is what our government could not see! People of Gambella are suffering. The government is short sighted and is just running after the hard currency. Do we really need to destroy the vegitation in Gambella? What a shame! Thanks for the crew!

As if Ethiopia has no other big places where excellent agriculture can take place [1], and if it wants to develop it's agricultural sector do you need to lease Ethiopian land to foreigners [2], are there no Ethiopian agricultural graduates and foreign students[3]. This biodoversity you will never get back in another 1000 years. Wild areas show the hand of the almighty it has a spiritual aspect in it as well, human hands can never make such beauty as GOD displays in nature. We are living in the end of an era... lyers hypocrites seekers of money GOD will judge. Food security can be achieved in another way, use your brain!!

Western countries have learned that these interests cán live side beside, you don't have to destroy natural resources. Deal wisely with the water resources there must be enough for both agriculture and nature if they deal with it strategically and scientifically. Cheers, and GOD bless.
