to

This
issue
has
created
a
sense
of
anger
and
rage
among
both
upstream
and
downstream
farmers
(figure
8.7
and
8.8).
Person

farmers
rely
on
the
TDA
to
resolve
the
conflict.
They
don’t
want
to
go
to
court
and
they
don’t
trust
the
government.
“The
government
can
come
and
kick
us
out
from
our
own
land”,
yelled
the
son
of
Abdullah
from
person
82,
a
twenty
something
young
man.
“We
sent
a
complaint
to
the
security
but
they
did
nothing.
If
we
go
with
an
official
complaint
to
the
government,
they’ll
throw
us
in
the
Central
Prison.
There
is
no
state
here”,
said
Abdullah.
