842. menduban alemu hasselt, Belgium <strong>Dear</strong> <strong>President</strong> <strong>Obama</strong>, Ethiopia's tyrant Meles Zenawi is<br />

the source of all mess in Ethiopia, Meles is an illegitimate<br />

leader, who has taken control of Ethiopia by force while<br />

robbing the people of the country of their national<br />

resources. Meles the name of "silent killer" ,is the 9th worst<br />

of the worst leader in the world ( Prof. Gregor Ayittey 2010<br />

edition), & constantly amoung the world top 10 enemies of<br />

the press/ Freedom of Speech since he came to power in<br />

1991 (accourding to CPJ, Reports Without<br />

Borders,HRW,,,reports)<br />

Infact, in the last 20 years, under Meles direct command<br />

his federal police forces shot dead thousands of innocent<br />

civilians & opposition party members , according to some<br />

sources , today 30-50 thousand political prisoners/<br />

prisoners of conscience in Ethiopia, who have committed "<br />

State" crimes by exercising their guaranteed " Human &<br />

Democratic Rights ". Besides, in the name of investment,<br />

Meles has placed Ethiopia under the market forces of<br />

globalization so as to sell or lease its fertile lands to<br />

international land-grabbers, the colonial regime of Zenawi<br />

has been violently evicting the Ethiopian villagers from<br />

their homes and farmlands because his motto is “sell and<br />

eat today and die tomorrow.” According to <strong>Oakland</strong><br />

<strong>Institute</strong> sources, this time in Gambella only estimated that<br />

75% of the domestic Investors which is widely to receive<br />

beneficial treatment in relation to investment and given<br />

land freely & receive preferential access to credit were<br />

from Tigray (Zenawi’s ethnic group people) such a practice<br />

is a kind of Colonialism. Therefore, please, open your mind<br />

& heart to help our people & be part of the voice of the<br />

voiceless Ethiopian. Thank you.<br />

843. Ken Thesing Nairobi, Kenya I first came to Tanzania in 1972. Hunger and agricultural<br />

development have been part of my life since. There are<br />

varying opinions on how best to achieve 'food security.' But<br />

simply removing people from their land without FIRST<br />

preparing for their care and future is unconscionable.<br />
