"Ethiopia is in 170th place out of a total of 177 countries where human development is concerned.
Ethiopia has more important things to do than to oppress opposition figures and put them in prison and to treat people as a collective instead of prosecuting them for specific crimes. As far back as in October 2005, we criticised the way in which Ethiopia treats its opposition, but in 2006 and during this year the situation has deteriorated.
I believe that we have to make more stringent demands of Ethiopia. After all, the African Union’s headquarters are in Ethiopia. Ethiopia must set a good example, and we cannot accept that the country that is host to our cooperation partner, the African Union, should go in for extensive human rights violations throughout its judicial system.
Before we can get to grips with all the issues to do with poverty and poverty-related problems, we must be able to help Ethiopia combat these human rights violations. Without a lively opposition, we cannot solve the problems."@en1
