人權組織批評埃塞俄比亞移民安置計劃

An international human rights group has criticized Ethiopia for a resettlement program, saying the government is forcing people to relocate and not providing adequate support. New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report released Tuesday that Ethiopia is requiring 70,000 indigenous people from the western Gambella region to move to new villages without enough food, farmland, health care or education facilities.

The report says the three-year program to relocate 45,000 households has placed people in villages where farmland is not ready for growing, while the government has failed to provide seeds or fertilizer. Human Rights Watch called for the program to be opia's Minister of Federal Affairs Shiferaw Teklemariam said in a letter responding to the report that the allegations are "downright fabrications." He said the resettlements are voluntary, and have been a success.一個國際人權組織批評埃塞俄比亞移民安置計劃，稱政府強迫人們搬遷，並沒有提供足夠的支持。總部位於紐約的人權觀察在星期二公佈的報告中說，埃塞俄比亞要西部甘貝拉地區的7萬名原住民搬遷到新的村莊，但沒有提供足夠的糧食、耕地、醫療保健或教育設施。

報告說，爲期三年的計劃將搬遷4萬5000戶，但安置村莊的耕地不適合耕種，政府未能提供種子或化肥。人權觀察呼籲暫停這一計劃。埃塞俄比亞聯邦事務部長希費勞.特克勒-馬里亞姆說，報告中的指控是“徹頭徹尾的捏造”。他說，安置計劃是自願參與的，並且取得了成功。
