jrod how exactly would you reconcile competing land claims between migratory pastoralists and settled agriculturalists? I mean since the issue of land use in Africa has been raised an extremely important part of the issue, and a major contemporary conflict driver, is negotiating disagreements between those who have customary used land for grazing with the expansion of settled agriculture in part driven by the emergent middle class reinvesting their wealth primarily in optimal farming land, pricing subsistence farmers out of land they have used for decades. It seems you inherently favour settled agriculture as the SOLE way to use land which is indicative of a fundamental world-view informed by European colonial norms.

Furthermore how would you deal with traditional communal land rights? Would these be converted to simple freehold with a simple shrug of "get with the times"?
