Ethiopians Are Paying A High Price For Development
Land For Sale (2013): Ethiopia's huge agricultural output has brought about an economic miracle for the nation.

Like thousands of other farmers he's been relocated to an artificial village to make space for new foreign agricultural investments. The promise of social services, including schools and clinics, has not been fulfilled and fear of arrest paralyses the farmers. Government spokesmen defend the policy, arguing that "our population is spread all across the territory. We can't give them care until they are grouped together". But with Africa's most fertile land being rented well below international market prices and little need for labour in the highly industrialised farmlands, traditional farmers are struggling for survival.

"A high price"? hahahaha What about the high price of no development and poverty? Journeyman Pictures and their usual British snobbery is just recycling the same old propaganda they tried a year ago. I don't know what the contempt is they have for Ethiopia in particular (maybe their history of thumbing their noses at European colonialism) but they and every environmental and indigenous rights group has been on a frantic mission to undermine Ethiopia's developed. A possible future of a developed and modernized Ethiopia terrifies white paternalists to the core. But the truth is their rhetoric is falling on deaf ears. Most of Africa is leaning East, not West.
