In reality, though, human-rights advocates say the army has begun seizing food from peasant farmers, raising fears that this year's harvest will be confiscated to feed soldiers and tighten control over rural opposition strongholds. "All basic foods are now under direct military control," says Eddie Cross, an economist and adviser to the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. The latest exercise - dubbed Operation Taguta/ Sisuthi or "eat well" - has been disastrous, according to a report released last month...
