la colline Abessoley dans le grand Bara
Related to country: Djibouti

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The company Colas who rehabilitates the international corridor has razed the hill Abessoley in Major Bara on the pretext that it contained good gravel forgetting the importance that was this hill for nomads and biodiversity.



The hill Abessoley lies in the great plains of Bara, and served as a refuge and relief for nomads and their herds and other wild animals whenever there is rain because of the plain fills and risk the lives of humans , Livestock and other wild animals. To prevent them from being submerged in water, they climbed over the hill and waiting for the water level down.



Today, one thing is sure, the hill is totally razed under the eyes of the authorities of the Region Arta and no concern was given to the threat in case of rain for people, their livestock and wild animals (antelope, foxes, reptiles…).



The Network EDDA without means, of course, but with a strong, determined commitment, interviewed nomads who were opposed to the total destruction of the hill but we were informed that the company Colas its influence, had obtained l Authorization by the authorities of the Region of Arta. A Okal General has even stopped and threatened Colas that put at risk the life of nomads and their herds and other wildlife, but he was powerless.



That's why we urgently call the company Colas to assume its responsibility and we urge the authorities of the Ministry of Environment and other government agencies concerned, to send experts to assess the seriousness of the situation.



However, it was mentioned in the rehabilitation project funded by the European Commission, that Colas provides small grants projects in the form of associations of the Region to the awareness of environmental protection, the fight against AIDS and the promotion of gender issue but unfortunately no sign has been done by Colas to associations and other civil society movements.



We strongly support the development road of our country but also must be taken into account the protection of the environment as development without a healthy environment is not a clean development.



Our goal is not to be controversial but reduce the company Colas to reason and to assume this responsibility
