6972: Land Reform Issues (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

I'm wondering if anyone would like to comment as to the success or failure 
of Haiti's land reform program since 1995. I know it has been one of the 
most contentious issues facing Haiti since 1804, endlessly complicated by 
disputes, corruption, greed and soil erosion, but has any  real progress 
been made in the last half dozen  years in the distribution of land? My 
guess is that there was some success at first, but everything is either on 
hold or derailed altogether.

                                            Thanks,

                                                 Jim Sullivan, Miami
