Land grabs happen all over the world. Here in the US, they just call it “imminent domain”, take what they want and pay you a nominal sum. Doesn’t matter what it’s worth to you, doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sell. Some friends of ours had 15 acres annexed by the city, who then turned around and sold it to a nursing home to build an assisted living facility. It happens everywhere.

What a disgrace these so called foreign investors have become. This is violation of human rights, these poor people need to be protected instead of being exploited.

To make matters worse in the same area there is yet another fatal dispute between the locals and Abid Alam of the Alam group. The government is doing nothing for the locals and president Museveni justifies such actions saying the locals are barring development and quick arrival to mid income status.

With plenty of help from the respective African governments.

The schoolhouse is the key to these people being compensated. The company built them a schoolhouse after they took possession of the original school house. Schools are built where there are communities, families, and children. If the company built them the new school then they knew they should have built them housing as well. The schoolhouse is the key to proving that their were communities already in place. The school house is the key to these people getting compensation for what they lost and the pain and suffering as well. This case needs to be at the United Nations.

It's horrible when you are forced to work on the land you used to own after being driven out. Land ownership need to be properly documented, that is part of the problem. If Africa wants to progress, education is a necessity. Only the educated can one day stand up and protect themselves.

The West Is just too evil, China should dominate the world soon...

Its amazing that the court took so long for just a hearing. The president and the government of Uganda should have compensated these farmers immediately. What the coffee plantation owners should have done is build proper roads with running water and electricity with proper homes for these farmers with schools and a hospital for the people of this region. Why didnt the foreign farmers who confiscated the lands from the original farmers buy there own land from the government instead of evicting the people from their lands. Each individual farmer should be paid million of dollars for lost of land,agricultural produce and the animals that were killed or taken by the soldiers. The foreign investment by coffee companies makes billions of dollars annualy so they do have enough money to compensate the original land owners for their property.

Any Corporation...man or woman that takes advantage and seeks to exploit and not uplift the poor of this world will, in the end, pay a great cost for their actions. The solution here is the consumers of Neumann's products should boycott until they can be certain that this is corrected and NEVER happens again. SHAME on Neumann for this crime against their fellow human beings.
