information received, the Anywa people identify as an indigenous minority with a long
historical attachment to ancestral land in the Gambella region. The Ethiopian Government

horticulture company Karuturi, and 10,000 hectares to the Saudi Star Company with another
240,000 hectares more likely to be leased to the Saudi Star Company. Reportedly this had bee
done without any prior consultation with local people. Moreover, the Federal Government
