Land Grab in Africa: The Case of Ethiopia

Land Grab in Africa: The Case of Ethiopia


Fikre Tolossa, Ph.D.; 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.
