It is common sense. The agricultural production is leaving the country. It is not staying there. It is not sold in the local market for the Ethiopian pouplation. Foreign investment is only good if it can increase domestic prouction and make goods and services available for the population with resonably cheeper prices. As the saudis use mechanized farming, job opportunities are not that great for Ethiopians.

The fact is that Meles and his government do not care about Ethiopians. What they care is only for their dollars. They are stashing away dollars for their future life outside the country. That is why they have been encouraging flower farms instead of producing more wheat, teff, corn, sorgum, oilseeds and sugar for the population.

Look what responsible governments like India, Veitnam, China Russia and others are doing to feed their population adequately. They have restricted export of essential agricultural products to the outside world. They wanted to satisfy their population first. Meles is doing exaxctly the opposite by exporting everything outside the country. That is why many people argue he is not an Ethiopian citizen at heart.

what is wrong wth it? there is hunger doesn’t mean we have to invite foriegn investors. What they produce is not computing with our capability, if they didn’t, nothing would change.

We are hungry not because we hav scarce land resource. It is because we are not capable of producing, period!!!

The problem is not the Saudis, but it is the Ethiopians ourselves. Why ? Because we the Ethiopians do not want to be united to over throw the devilish arrogant thugs of TPLF’s so called ” Democratic Government ” . If the TPLF remains on power for a long time, the time will come when they will sell our fellow country peoples as slaves to the Arabs in order to win the friends on their sides. But what kind of friends one has to win by selling his/her home land to strangers ? The TPLF is a group of gangsters without any moral, traditional respect and culture. Even this group will not hesitate to sell their mothers, if they get much amount of money. My fellow ETHIOPIANS, if the Arabs get a way to Ethiopia, they will easly change the hungry people and Ethiopia will be the ARABS NEST IN PARADISE. The Arabs, where ever they go or stand, they claim as their own land or property. Don’t forget the Arabs expansion of 600 AD and their today’s pushing the blacks to south from north Africa.
ETHIOPIANS UNITED TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY !! GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA !!

This is a sad story to the people of Ethiopia and great news to Saudis. The Saudis bought Ethiopian land and people with their petrol dollars. They were able to buy house slaves to work as house maids, raise their babies as nanny’s, cook their food in their kitchens for 12 hours helping the Saudi women and the rest of the 12 hours abused as sex toys to the men. Now Saudis have bought land and field slaves in Ethiopia to grow the food they eat. Responsible governments restrict export of food in order to feed their population and Ethiopian government starves their people to feed other countries. Shortage of land in the country have lead to civil wars in the country and while the government grab fertile lands to grow flowers, biofules for Western market, and now grow rice to feed the Middle East, and Ethiopian intellectuals cry “Green Famine” in their country begging for bags of corn to feed their people. Haile Selassie I lead his people to liberate the country to make Ethiopia for Ethiopians in less than five yeras. In 30 years after his departure the governments of DRUG and TPLF (EPRDF) have achieved selling the country and the people to the highest bidders. Poor Ethiopia stretches her hands and prays to God to send her a wise leader Haile Selassie II. Ethiopians need to think clearly, make peace among ourselves and our neighbors and identify our local and foreign enemies who are keeping us ignorant to die in exile and our home lands. “Seek for the Truth and Only the Truth makes you free”.
