Milking the desert: How mega-dairies thrive in Saudi sands - CNN.com

If you do a little research, you'll note that the farm land they got in Ethiopia at the head of the Nile was after the local populace was moved. And by moved, I meant being beaten and raped off the land.

Meanwhile, the Saudi government has denied that its investment in the region has uprooted the region's indigenous people.
"I never heard of even a single displacement," Saudi Agriculture Minister Dr Fahd bin Abdulrahman Balghunaim said in media reports.
"If you or any other correspondent will show us a clear displacement or land grab or whatever by Saudi investment, please let us know. I assure you there are none whatsoever."
