埃塞俄比亚:摩西族人回忆国家机关实施的监禁、折磨和侵占土地等行为,相关国家机关采取这些行动据说是为了保护中国人经营的甘蔗种植园和蔗糖提炼厂

[此翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

“绑架、折磨与被偷走的土地:埃塞俄比亚新甘蔗战争的残酷现实”

……2005年,乔纳森初次来到摩西族(Mursi)的领地时,摩西部落依旧维持着数千年来的生活方式:用奥莫河(Omo River)的河水灌溉,通过放牧和狩猎获取食物。在2015年政府支持的一家意大利公司完成吉布三号水电站(Gibe III hydroelectric dam)项目后,这一切都发生了变化。摩西族人回忆说,季节性洪水在新千年来首次不见了,大片的部落领地不再适合耕作,饥荒接踵而来。与此同时,水源还被分流,以解决政府在奥莫河谷兴建的甘蔗种植园的灌溉问题。新的灌溉地区很快成为了传播疟疾的蚊子的栖息地……

中国企业参与了甘蔗园项目。甘蔗种植园最初由埃塞军方管理,由于爆出丑闻,这些种植园被出售给中国公司。政府还允许这些公司在奥莫河谷修建辅助设施。中国国营媒体《中国日报》在2017年以“埃塞俄比亚甘蔗产业的幸福生活”为题,报道了当时在“荒地”上兴建的10个甘蔗种植园。实际情况是,每个种植园的土地都是埃塞军方从当地部落强行无偿征用的……

随着甘蔗种植园和蔗糖提炼厂数量的大幅增加,当地部落的民众开始反击,而他们反击的方式主要是袭击工人和破坏机器。外国投资的涌入使埃塞政府在维护地区稳定方面面临的压力日益增大,这促使政府动用军队没收当地部族的武器。
