Land grab in Ethiopia – Discussion with Dr Fikre Tolossa

Northern California Peace Corps Association (NorCal PCA), in partnership with the Commonwealth Club of California, will hold a discussion on:

LAND GRAB IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF ETHIOPIA
presented by Fikre Tolossa, PhD, Playwright/Author

Though Africa is no longer threatened by armed colonizers, foreign exploiters are threatening Ethiopian farmers by obtaining fertile land from African leaders. The governments of many African countries are benefiting from these land transactions, but the people are left impoverished and hungry. Tolossa will suggest ways to improve the desperate situation for Ethiopian farmers.

Date: March 1, 2011
Time: 5:30 p.m. networking reception, 6:00 p.m. program
