Cheers Chiri for the insight - there was a big brouha in the early nineties over evictions of subsistence farmers in Los Haitises, where only "interests" were compensated for loss of land. I was pretty sceptical about the export and drugs references, but the "interests" thing changes it somewhat. 1,400 troops for 100 families still sounds like the heavy-handed response of the early 1990s.
