Video-testimony by Friends of the Earth International about land grabbing in Uganda
John Muyiisha, a farmer of Kalangala, tells us his difficult experience linked to land grabbing in Uganda. One day he woke up and found several machines destroying his crops. He and his family had been living in that land for over 34 years.
