Una coalición de grupos hace un llamado urgente ante las autoridades de Etiopía y de India para que se cancele la concesión de nuevos contratos de arrendamiento de tierras a la compañía de agronegocios Karuturi Global.
En avril 2019, Karuturi Global a informé ses actionnaires qu'on lui avait "accordé 15 000 hectares de terrain pour des activités agricoles" à Gambella, mais le contrat de bail n'a toujours pas été délivré par les autorités compétentes
A diplomatic intervention by the Indian government and law suits filed by the company appear to have pushed Ethiopian authorities to backtrack and offer a new lease in the Gambella region, this time for 15,000 hectares.
Shares of Karuturi Global may remain in action, as its subsidiary Karuturi Agro Products Plc, Ethiopia, has been granted 15,000 hectares for agricultural activities.
While Ethiopian and foreign companies such as Karuturi Global and Saudi Star have been given large leases and credit to farm lands in Gambella, local people have largely been left out, just as they have been excluded for decades

El año 2017 terminó como uno de los más fatídicos para los defensores de la tierra. También fue un año muy malo para muchos acaparadores de tierras.
