Anti-GMO activists in Africa accuse Monsanto, Gates Foundation of bioterrorism

Adrian Milliken | CrimeFACTS | September 16, 2015

https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2015 ... terrorism/


Bill Gates, at World Economic Forum

The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion and analysis.

The Consortium for Food Safety in Africa, a network of radical anti-GMO environmental organizations involved in food safety issues in the continent, ended its biannual conference in Kenya.

Environmentalists and food safety activists warned African countries particularly Kenya and Uganda that they were being used for field trials of mutant cassava virus developed by biotechnology companies. The idea was to develop mutant cassava viruses to attack natural cassava strains in Africa and also to develop strains resistant to it as genetically modified (GMOs) cassava. The activists claimed that the project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Monsanto through a proxy company called Genetics Technologies International Limited. This will put at risk the food security of 800 million Africans and also millions in South America and China who largely depend on cassava as staple food.

Delegates pointed out that the countries including Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda were being used as test ground for release of the very virulent cassava viruses to attack the crops. The governments of these countries have accepted the solution offered by Monsanto owned by Bill Gates to provide them GMOs cassava. This would mean that the GMOs cassava planted in Africa would now come from only one source, Monsanto, who would have successfully hijacked cassava supply and food security of African countries.

Delegates from South Africa and East Africa criticized their governments for allowing the Bill Gates and Monsanto devised scheme to force feed Africa with toxic GMO cassava strains while killing the natural cassava using the mutant cassava viruses.

A Nigerian human rights lawyer informed the forum that the major interest of the biotechnology companies has been to capture the food security of Nigeria. According to him, about two million small farmers were driven away from their lands due to the Boko Haram insurgency in the north and are now being resettled and given GMO crops to plant through the so-called multilateral donor agencies also funded by Bill Gates.

Monsanto and Gates Foundation Pressure Kenya to Lift Ban on GMOs

Lorraine Chow Jan. 07, 2016

https://www.ecowatch.com/monsanto-and-g ... 44919.html

FOOD



Kenya is on the verge of reversing its ban on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) http://ecowatch.com/news/food-agricultu ... -organism/. The East African country—which has banned the import and planting of GMOs since 2012 due to health concerns—may soon allow the cultivation of GMO maize and cotton after being pushed for approval by pro-GMO organizations including Monsanto, http://ecowatch.com/?s=monsanto the agribusiness giant and world's largest seed company.



If it does so, Kenya will become only the fourth African country to allow the cultivation of GMO crops following South Africa, Bukina Faso and Sudan.

According to Mail & Guardian Africa, http://mgafrica.com/article/2016-01-06- ... fied-crops Kenya's possible GMO reversal comes after the country's National Biosafety Authority received one application from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization and the African Agricultural Technology Foundation to release Bt maize, and another application from Monsanto's Kenyan subsidiary to release Bt cotton. Bt crops http://ecowatch.com/?s=Bt have been bioengineered with the moth- and [deleted]-killing bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.

We recommend lifting the ban,

National Biosafety Authority CEO Willy Tonui said.

We now have border control, surveillance and a strong regulatory system.

On Nov. 21, 2012, the Kenyan Ministry of Public Health ordered http://gain.fas.usda.gov/Recent%20GAIN% ... 7-2012.pdf public health officials to remove all GMO foods on the market and to enforce a ban on GMO imports. The Minister for Public Health, Beth Mugo, presented the concerns

about the safety of GMOs during a Kenyan cabinet meeting, citing a (since retracted http://www.nature.com/news/study-linkin ... ed-1.14268) French study that linked cancer in rats to the consumption of GMO foods.

The National Biosafety Authority is expected to make its decision on the maize seed Jan. 31 and then on Feb. 28 for the cotton seed, according to Tonui.

Scientists from the Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization and African Agricultural Technology Foundation want http://allafrica.com/stories/201601041886.html the maize seeds released to farmers for mass production. As Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... rn-imports described, maize (or corn) is a major dietary staple in Kenya and would benefit from pest-resistant crops:

Kenya is Africa’s largest per-capita corn consumer and the second-biggest seeds market, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Annual corn consumption is estimated at 103 kilograms (227 pounds) per person, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization [FAO]. In 2011, Kenya became the first African nation to report an outbreak of the Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease, which can wipe out farmers’ entire crops, the FAO says http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_uploa ... _FINAL.pdf on its website.

The industry has been in a sorry state,

Waturu wrote in the paper Bt Cotton Research Progress.

In 1985, we used to produce 70,000 bales of cotton, but in 2013 we could only produce 20,000. In the same year, Tanzania and Uganda produced 700,000 and 400,000 bales respectively.

Still, the looming approval of GMOs in Kenya has been met with heavy protests by opponents. In September 2015, activists rallied in Nairobi against the lifting of the GMO ban, citing health concerns.

We need to stand by our country’s economy and fight for the rights of our farmers. Biotechnology is not bad, but the introduction of genetically modified foods is unethical and unsafe,

nutrition expert Hellen Ngema said. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Activists- ... index.html

Lifting the ban is also perceived as a play that would benefit large multinationals such as Monsanto and other powerful organizations.

Kenya's potential GMO reversal comes after "pressure" from Monsanto, the United States Agency for International Development and the Gates Foundation, according to a report by RT. https://www.rt.com/news/328014-kenya-gm ... -monsanto/

The report cited Monsanto's Water Efficient Maize for Africa, http://www.monsanto.com/improvingagricu ... frica.aspx a five-year development project led by the Kenyan-based African Agricultural Technology Foundation that aims to develop a variety of drought-tolerant maize seeds. Incidentally, as the website points out, the project receives funding from the Gates Foundation, United States Agency for International Development and Howard G. Buffett Foundation.

RT reported that in 2008, the African Agricultural Technology Foundation received $47 million from the Gates Foundation.

The argument for GMOs is controversial, to say the least. The pro-GMO camp touts the technology as a solution to malnutrition http://ecowatch.com/2013/08/12/farmers- ... ilippines/ and global food security, http://ecowatch.com/2015/03/31/gmos-wil ... eed-world/ as these crops have been genetically tinkered with certain nutritional benefits and/or spliced-and-diced to resist certain pathogens.

Bill Gates, for one, is known to be pro-GMO seed, especially for the crops' purported benefits to drought-prone African countries.

In February 2015, the business magnate and philanthropist told The Verge http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/18/80561 ... ca-poverty that

GMO-derived seeds will provide far better productivity, better drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, and if the safety is proven, then the African countries will be among the biggest beneficiaries.

The Verge noted in a report that the Gates Foundation Asset Trust, which manages the foundation's assets, previously held shares of Monsanto. Indeed, in 2010, it was revealed http://cagj.org/2010/08/for-immediate-r ... -monsanto/ that the Gates Foundation’s investment portfolio held 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock with an estimated worth of $23.1 million purchased in the second quarter of 2010 (here's the filing http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/ ... 13f-hr.txt with the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Foundation spokesperson Alex Reid told The Verge that the trust has not held shares of Monsanto "for a few years" and added that the trust is managed separately and does not receive input into what the foundation funds.

Meanwhile, Monsanto has once again http://ecowatch.com/2015/11/11/monsanto-pcb-lawsuit/ made headlines for its business woes and slumping profits.

According to the Associated Press, http://www.usnews.com/news/business/art ... seed-sales the embattled company will

eliminate another 1,000 jobs as it expands a cost-cutting plan designed to deal with falling sales of biotech-corn seeds and other financial headwinds

.

Monsanto will now be cutting 3,600 jobs over the next two years, roughly 16 percent of its global workforce.

As of press time the Gates Foundation had not responded to EcoWatch's request for comment.

ASMARA, Eritrea (Reuters) -- African nation Eritrea says 52,000 Australian sheep that spent months at sea after being rejected by dozens of countries would be slaughtered over the next two months and eaten.

Over 5,000 sheep died during their time on board what some Australian media dubbed the "ship of death" as more than 20 states turned them away on health grounds.

The animals have been herded ashore in Eritrea after the impoverished African country agreed to take them as a gift.

Eritrean Agriculture Minister Arefayne Berhe said Monday there were no health issues associated with the sheep.

"Our veterinarians have inspected them and testified they are free from disease," he said. "The fact that they were on board the ship for so long is good for us.

"They were de facto in quarantine, and if they have been for so long in quarantine and don't show any symptoms of a disease, it only attests to us that they are free of any disease and fit for human consumption," he added.

Eritrea, one of the poorest countries in the world, has had to appeal for nearly 90 percent of its food needs this year after a severe drought left many of its 4 million people dependent on food aid.

The sheep are being offloaded from the Dutch-owned ship carrying the animals, the "Cormo Express," and trucked inland to a holding station at the small settlement of Ghatelai.

"They will stay at Ghatelai for the next two weeks or so," Arefayne said. "And after that, they will be slaughtered for human consumption."

He said there were no plans to sell the sheep on the open market. "I think the meat will be given to people and schools and things like that, but we still haven't made a plan for exactly how they will be distributed and consumed."

The sheep left Australia for Saudi Arabia on August 6, but the Saudi buyer rejected them on the disputed grounds that 6 percent had scabby mouth disease. In Australia, animal rights activists have called for an end to the live export trade.

Eritrea given politically embarrassing sheep
After more than 70 cramped days at sea and rejection by dozens of countries, 52,000 politically embarassing Australian sheep were finally hered off the so-called Ship of Death.

24 Oct 2003

People wait at the entrance of the Red Sea Port of Massawa
Their new home will be in the Eritrean highlands, bringing to an end a huge animal rights campaign which began shortly after they left the Australian port of Fremantle on 5 August.

The plight of the sheep - 5000 of which died aboard the vessel Cormo Express - caused a political storm in Australia where the government faced calls for a ban on its lucrative live animal export trade.

"They began getting off the boat this morning," said an employee of the Red Sea port of Massawa. "They are taking them to Ghatelei," in the highlands of the east African country.

Crew members said the Cormo Express had arrived in Massawa on Wednesday morning.

The vessel, dubbed the Ship of Death, had been sailing around the Middle East since Saudi Arabia rejected the sheep in August, claiming they were diseased.

"We certainly will be doing everything we can to ensure this circumstance never arises again"

Mark Vaile

Australian Trade Minister

Good health

Independent veterinary surgeons said there was nothing wrong with them, but about 30 countries followed the Saudi lead and refused to take them.

Dr Nigel Brown, a veterinarian with Meat Livestock Australia (MLA) for the Middle East and Africa region, said Friday the animals had been inspected by Eritrean veterinary authorities before they left the ship and they were in good health.

"They are showing no signs of clinical disease, of infectious disease or contagious disease," he told reporters.

"They are very fit and healthy and we are delighted. They will be looked after well in Eritrea where there are excellent facilities."

Earlier Friday, Australia announced that the sheep had been given as a "gift" to Eritrea. Brown said the Australian and Eritrean governments had "reached an agreement that is mutually satisfactory."

In the afternoon, the main road out of Massawa was crowded with sheep and their shepherds.

Smell

Authorities barred access to the port but the smell of the sheep was detectable well outside the facility.

The port worker, who had been aboard the Cormo Express, said he had not seen any dead sheep.

Australian Trade Minister Mark Vaile said the fiasco would never be repeated.

"We've managed it the best way we can and we certainly will be doing everything we can to ensure this circumstance never arises again," Vaile said.

Vaile conceded that negotiations over the sheep had been sensitive.

Exotic diseases

Australia's agriculture industry had been deeply concerned by government plans to return the sheep to Australia for slaughter if a taker could not be found, fearing the animals could be carrying exotic diseases contracted during their lengthy voyage.

Animal rights activists had been calling for the animals to be slaughtered at sea and suggested the unexpected deal with Eritrea had been kept secret to minimise a bad press and prevent independent scrutiny of the animals' condition.

Previously the government said they had left Kuwait en route for the Cocos Islands, an Australian possession in the Indian Ocean where there is a quarantine station, travelling in the opposite direction to Eritrea.

"I would suggest that the timing of the announcement was cleverly orchestrated to ensure that media scrutiny of the condition of the sheep was avoided"

Glenys Oogjes
Animals Australia

"Animals Australia welcomes an end to the Cormo Express debacle," said Glenys Oogjes, the rights organisation's executive director: "However, I would suggest that the timing of the announcement was cleverly orchestrated to ensure that media scrutiny of the condition of the sheep was avoided."

The Australian government has paid dearly for the debacle. Live exports to Saudi Arabia have been halted and the government was forced to repurchase the sheep at a cost of several million dollars.

The Labour opposition has been scoring political points over the issue with an eye on an election due next year.

rench authorities are on the trail of a young genetically modified green sheep that appears to have gone on the lam in Paris.

Somehow a lamb from a lab experiment was sent to a slaughterhouse last fall, and some unknowing buyer purchased the meat, as Amar Toor reports for The Verge. The mysterious incident of the disappearing, genetically modified sheep stirred up quite the controversy in a country that has produced some staunch opposition to genetically modified food.

As for Rumsfeld:

Eritrea Could Teach U.S. Much to Combat Terror

By Jim Garamone

American Forces Press Service

https://archive.defense.gov/news/newsar ... x?id=42407

ASMARA, Eritrea, Dec. 10, 2002 – Following a meeting with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that the United States can learn much about combating terror from the people of this small African nation.


Map of Eritrea.

Rumsfeld met with Eritrean leaders as part of a four-day visit to the Horn of Africa and Qatar in the Persian Gulf.

Afwerki said his country would cooperate gladly in the global war on terrorism, because it has been the victim of terrorism. In essence, he told reporters, his neighborhood is rough. The failed state of Somalia is near Eritrea, and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was based in adjacent Sudan until 1996. A 1998-2000 border war with Ethiopia disrupted the area and allowed terrorists to practice their murders.

Eritrea has cooperated in the war of terror and has offered facilities, intelligence, and other help such as overflight and mooring permissions to the United States and other members of the worldwide coalition, said embassy officials.

Rumsfeld said during a press conference with Afwerki that the United States understands the war on terror will take time.

There are forces in the world that are urging, recommending, teaching fanaticism, extremism and terrorism, and those forces need to be overcome,

he said.

He said his visit to Eritrea is an example of the changes in the world since the terror attacks in New York and the Pentagon.

One of the things that has happened since the events of Sept. 11 is the development of new relationships around the world,

he said.

Afwerki said the secretary's visit clearly signifies that the United States is committed to the region and the global war on terror. "This is nothing new in Eritrea," the president said.

We have been fighting against terrorism for the last 13 years alone.

But, he said, the attacks in New York and on the Pentagon "sensitized many" to the danger of terrorism.

We believe we have a stake in working together with our partners, and particularly the United States, to make this region peaceful and safe,

Afwerki said.

He said terrorists have targeted his country. Afwerki said Eritrea has

limited resources, but we are willing and prepared to use these limited resources in any way useful to fight terrorism.

Rumsfeld did not ask for any particular asset from Eritrea. He said it is a mistake to assume these discussions are "transactional."

He said the two countries simply need to cooperate in the war on terror. There is no quid pro quo in the relationship. It is in both countries best interests to cooperate with like-minded nations to defeat terror groups.

"These are the kinds of problems that are global," the secretary said.

No single country can handle it. It requires cooperation over a sustained period of time.

He noted the relationships are multifaceted and vary from country to country.

Rumsfeld noted the history of Eritrea when he said that the country of about 4.5 million people

has considerably more experience than we do over a sustained period of time

in battling terrorism. He said the United States can benefit from that experience.

Rumsfeld travels to Ethiopia and then will go on to Djibouti and then Qatar.

Clinton meets with Eritrean leader

https://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/02/01 ... 791614800/

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 -- U.S. President Bill Clinton met Wednesday with President Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea, discussing democratic and free-market reforms and the need for peace and 'food security' on the Horn of Africa.

(Clinton) expressed his appreciation for Eritrea's good start on the road to democracy and free markets in the nearly two years since its independence,

White House spokesman Mike McCurry said in a statement.

The two leaders also discussed the need for peace and stability in the 10-nation region known as the Horn of Africa, especially the Sudan and Somalia.

They agreed that a peaceful resolution to the civil war in Sudan is essential not only for the long-suffering people of that nation but also for the security of Somalia's neighbors,

McCurry said.

The two leaders also discussed the withering famines that have plagued African countries, with both

underscoring their joint effort to promote food security throughout the region.

McCurry said. The two presidents also 'welcomed' the excellent relations between the two countries and discussed ways to enhance the relationship, McCurry said.
