It is surpeising for me to hear such a painfull story. The dutch poeple indeed commited a huge crime against our poeple. The should be taken to the court. It is known that they are the most cruel people in the world. My parents live there for more than half a century in Wonji and ofcourse all my siblings were a victim of this excess fluoride.

Being paid less than 10 birr a day and living in asbestos shanties two metres squared for six people. It is apauing that this is not a more widely known issue.

Though the fluor excess was apparent in people's teeth - either extremely white or completely rotten - this is certainly news. HVA having helt back information to its Ethiopian workers is a serious offense if proven true. Have any charges been pressed as of yet? http://www.hvainternational.nl Since 1994 HVA International is a member of the Koop Group, a major Dutch engineering and contracting company with an annual turnover of some 800 million US dollars. http://www.koop.nl/ I visited Wonji Shoa Sugar Factory in 2003 while making a radio programme.

One needs good lawyers on this matter, and the victimes must get proper compensation.
