As discussed in the recent article for the Inter Press Service, agronomy students have protested and gained the government's acceptance of a petition to focus on improving Haiti's rural economy.
Stanley Belizaire (holding microphone) says that Haiti's agronomy students will keep track of the promises made by the agriculture ministry.
Students gather at Haiti's State University to discuss a new strategy for creating dialogue and pressure on the government.
Student demonstrators blocked the Ministry of Agriculture off and on between the 20th of January and 5th of February, 2008. They utilized iron pipes, cinder blocks, wood, metal chains, and padlocks to close off the main entrances to the Ministry.
The Minister of the Agriculture Department, Francois Severin, promised that in a very short period good actions would be taken to satisfy the eleven points of the petition that the students had asked the government to take for the country's rural economy, agronomists, and farmers.
