Reality is harsh in these developing countries. In things like agrarian reforms, poor farmers are handed land by the government that in the end is illegally sold to big farmers and then new protests arise asking for more land. This has been going for decades.

Same goes for the “Protected Reserves” of the natives. Everyone is just about the money.
