Your title say "(Good News) Taiwan Donated Rice to Ethiopia". And the actual news says "Taiwan is donating 1,150 metric tonnes of rice to East African REFUGEES"

Your title is misleading and misinforming! Like your masters!

謝謝

Susan Rice Asked Taiwan to donate Rice to beggar woyanes.

We Need Freedom, More Than Food.
WE NEED FREEDOM !
~ Exiled Ethiopian Journalist Abebe Gellaw ~

This is another shame for TPLF and their newly learned economic philosophy. Get some rice from Taiwan and send plenty rice to Saudi Arabia. To save some transportation cost, TPLF econiomic minister could have asked Taiwan to send the rice to Saudi Arabia and let Ethiopians consume the rice grown in Ethiopia for Saudi Arabia. The problem is TPLF economic minister is the same man that is the War minister and the same guy that is the Prime minister, which is the same man married to the country's biggest conglomerate CEO Azeb Mesfin.

Taiwan donates rice to East African countries


2012/06/01

Taipei, June 1 (CNA) Taiwan is donating 1,150 metric tonnes of rice to East African countries for refugees who have been displaced by famine and the worst drought in the region in 60 years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said Friday.

The food aid will be shipped by boat in three batches, said Wu Rong-chuan, vice chairman of the MOFA’s NGO Affairs Committee, at a donation ceremony at Taichung Harbor Container Terminal.

The rice has been packaged in 3-kilogram bags that will be easy for refugees to carry and bear the words of "Love From Taiwan," along with an imprint of the ROC flag, according to Wu.

The national Agriculture and Food Agency inspected the rice to make sure only the best quality is being sent, especially as the shipment will take 35 days, Wu said

East African countries, including Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, were hit by a severe drought in July 2011 that caused the displacement of 13 million people, Wu said.

In the aftermath of the drought, Somalia refugees have been flooding Kenya's borders, which is aggravating the famine situation, he said.

The Taiwan government is working with several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to provide aid to the East African countries, Wu said.

For example, the Red Cross Society of The Republic of China has contributed to a cash donation of US$650,000, while the U.S.-based Feed the Children is paying to ship the rice, he said.

The food aid is part of the MOFA’s plan to execute President Ma Ying-jeou's policy of making Taiwan a "humanitarian aid provider," Wu said.

akele, my tigraway brother,
why is your woyane regime exporting rice to Arab countries and, yet at the same time, begging rice food aid from Asian countries ?

This is what happens when you are colonized, you give a good quality product to your masters and then, you beg for an inferior quality product from your masters

The rice grown in this Saudi-owned paddy field in Ethiopia is exported to Saudi Arabia. The Ethiopians doing slave labor on the rice plantation are surviving on rice food aid from Taiwan.


Ethiopia: A battle for land and water

Rice fields (Paddy fields) require a great deal of labor and large amount of water for irrigation to flood the fields.

Taiwan's total area is 3.58 million hectares. A quarter is arable meaning Taiwan has only 860,000 hectares of arable land. Ethiopia has 74 million hectares of arable land (74,000,000 hectares!).

This means Ethiopia has 86 times as much arable land as Taiwan!
