Kumi Naidoo - Letter for you
Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 by meirizka
Lets all send this letter across to all our fellow friends & not forgetting to GREENPEACE!!!
Many negative allegations posted by Western NGOs (Greenpeace/ Friends of The Earth) towards Palm Oil, I came across this interesting piece from www.palmoiltruthfoundation.com entitled "Palm Oil: An Open Letter to Kumi Naidoo, Executive Director of Greenpeace International". How does Kumi Naidoo judge the unfairly attacks undertaken by GREENPEACE towards Palm Oil the crop that feeds the world and eradicates poverty in most developing countries?
Highlights from the letter:
1) Kumi Naidoo - at the age of 15 African born became an activist, leading student demo towards eliminating 'Apartheid' (social and political policy of racial segregation and discrimination enforced by white minority governments in South Africa from 1948 to 1994)
2) Kumi has always been passionate about human rights, poverty eradication and gender equality, he even proved them with hunger strike.
3) Now being the Executive Director of GREENPEACE Int, Kumi is faced with and will have to grapple with mass volume of baseless attacks by this NGO.
4) Greenpeace has been an NGO always attacking on Palm Oil, from killing orang utan, destroying forest, using bigger land space and leading to global warming and etc. Nevertheless in this letter, the writer has lay-out various factual data to defend palm oil. In addition, expressing his views towards Kumi.
5) Writer questioned Kumi, if we were to take Kumi's past conduct, an active activist elivating poverty, human rights and etc. How would he now act when Greenpeace an NGO he is attached with from an environmental group, has morphed into a shameless lobby with a twisted extremism!

2 Response to "Kumi Naidoo - Letter for you"
There obviously seems to be a concerted effort to ensure that under developed or developing countries know their place and stay in it.It can only be hoped that with his background Kumi Naidoo will take a more balanced view of things and consider the viewpoints expressed on the other side of the table and not just get carried away by the so called research from his and other similar NGOs. Having come to the helm of Green Peace International not too long ago, Mr.Naidoo should not get carried away by the continuing crusades of Green Peace.Rather, he should look at issues afresh and with an open mind.
Mr. Naidoo made a mistake in accepting the job at Greenpeace. Now he's in a dilemma either to follow his conscience or 'wishes'of his organization. I think he'd be better off if he quits Greenpeace & restore his reputation.
