  • Kenson Polynice, Sterlin St. Cyr, et Frito Mérisier, du comité de direction de KOZEPEP, parlent de l’objectif et des activités de KOZEPEP, qui s’est transformé d’une organisation paysanne du contrôle des élections vers une organisation qui lutte pour les droits des agriculteurs (et des pêcheurs, comme St. Cyr) en général. Ils parlent de l’importance accordée à la production agricole nationale et le programme de réforme agraire, les défis de la production de café (Mérisier est un planteur de café de Thiotte) et la pêche. Ils font le bilan du programme de réforme agraire, qui était censé empêcher le conflit terrien ensanglanté dans l’Artibonite On ne fait pas de suivi du programme de réforme agraire, ce qui a permis au conflit terrien de recommencer. Interview Michèle Montas.

  • Kenson Polynice, Sterlin St. Cyr, and Frito Mérisier of the KOZEPEP steering committee discuss the goals and activities of KOZEPEP, which has transformed from a peasant-led election monitoring organization to an organization that fights for the rights of rural farmers (and fishers, like St. Cyr) more generally. They discuss the importance of supporting domestic agricultural production, the agrarian reform program, the challenges of coffee production (Mérisier is a coffee planter from Thiotte) and fishing. They assess the agrarian reform program, which was intended to stop bloody land conflict in the Artibonite. There was a lack of follow-up and oversight of the agrarian reform initiative, which has allowed land conflict to resume. Interview Michèle Montas.
