Yes, I looked at them earlier today. A very nice reportage.

It makes me wonder ... one of the individual's grandfather had purchased x
amount of acerage for farming but only a fraction of it was used today.
What happened to the rest? Lack of water? Confiscation? Annexation?

A similar situation exists in Zimbabwe, but there it is not so clean cut.
The political rhetoric for redistributing the land is just a cover-up for
hidden agendas. The land isn't going out to anyone. It's just there now,
unused ... and people are starving.

Enjoyed your work ... but I suppose you've heard that before ... still
