Subject: Urgent Follow-up on Our Appeal and Mineral Partnership Proposal
Dear Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee,
I am writing to follow up on my previous letters regarding the plight of the Gambella people
and our request for support in facilitating a political dialogue for a referendum on the
independence and reunification of the Anyuak land. Given the gravity of the situation and the
continued injustices our people face, we urge you to expedite addressing our concerns.
We understand that such matters require careful consideration; however, time is of the essence.
Our people continue to face significant challenges, and swift action is necessary to prevent
further suffering and injustice. As emphasized in our initial appeal, Denmark’s support in this
matter is crucial, and we trust that your esteemed committee will act urgently.
Furthermore, we wish to reiterate our proposal for a mutually beneficial partnership
regarding the vast mineral and oil reserves within the Anyuak land. We stand ready to
provide the Danish government with preferential access to these resources in exchange
for your support in advocating for our cause. This partnership would
benefit our people and
serve Denmark’s strategic and economic interests.

So, let your esteemed government establish a special relationship
with the Paanywaa people that is grounded in development cooperation.
We humbly request your assistance in the following areas:
1.
Security:
Support establishing a secure environment for our people, protecting them
from further harm, and creating conditions for peace and stability.
2.
Education:
We should invest in education to equip our youth with the skills and
knowledge they need to rebuild our region and contribute meaningfully to the world.
3.

Development of roads, access to clean water, and provision of
electricity to lay the foundation for sustainable growth and improved livelihoods.
The United Paanywaa Movement is committed to overseeing the implementation of these
development initiatives with transparency and accountability, ensuring that they directly
benefit the people of Gambella, known as Paanywaa.
Your prompt response will be instrumental in ensuring justice and stability for the Gambella
people. Thank you for your attention and support. We look forward to your swift response.
