Webmaster
Tor Arve Benjaminsen and Ian Bryceson, together with five Swedish colleagues, have published an opinion piece in "Dagens Nyheter" on 14th April which raises issue of climate colonialism, land grabbing, marginalisation of poor people, water resource depletion, destruction of biodiversity and other negative impacts of a large-scale commercial biofuel project which is being promulgated by the Swedish company SEKAB in Tanzania. The company has altered the EIA in a suspect manner, and it has made contradictory statements about its intentions in Sweden and Tanzania. The company is seeking funding from Swedish and Norwegian aid.
