# They're also fucking over Ethiopia
They want 6Million USD, from these poor bastards. The Ethiopian gov have offered 1.5 (which they can ill afford any way) but Nestle are demanding more.

They claim they will re invest it in the country, but if that's the case, why not just write it off anyway?

# quote from bbc story
Nestle has faced severe criticism from aid agencies after demanding the compensation for a company that Ethiopia nationalised in the 1970s.

Oxfam has condemned Nestle's stance, saying there is no justification for diverting Ethiopian Government money to a multinational which made profits of about $3.9bn in the first six months of this year.

"This is a company that has said publicly that one of the things it wants to do in the world is to help make poor people better off. This is a company that is trying to squeeze out of one of the poorest countries in the world $6m," said Oxfam's director of policy in the UK, Justin Forsyth.
