Certaines personnes de l’ancien régime, parmi la classe dirigeante, ont pris des terres, mais lorsque le gouvernement a tenté de les reprendre, des millions de pauvres, paysans et habitants des taudis, ont été expulsés de chez eux, privés du lambeau d’espoir de survie que leur procurait cette petite parcelle de terre.
There were people in the old regime, in the ruling class, who took land, but when the government attempted to take back that land, millions of poor people, poor peasants and people in slums were evicted from their homes, from the last small shred of hope of survival which they had through a small piece of land.
