Yeah, primarily G8 policies have been affecting our agrarian relations for the last fifty years. And the present strategy of the G8 will destroy our cultivating peasants. The peasants who cultivate. The apprehension and the imminent danger is that they will lose the land, lose their job and will be in the free labour market. And that's their policy. They want to capture our natural resources, land, forest and water, mines so they can impose their economic profit-making economy on our social economic conditions.
