Peru: Amazonian indigenous communities preparing more protests
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
The indigenous leaders from Jaén (Cajamarca region) will decide this weekend on the possible restart of their protests, with the aim of demanding a real dialogue with the government and the repeal of all the legislative decrees that they consider harmful to their ancestral land.
“Awajun communities are aware and in state of alert,” said Mateo Impi, representative from the Regional Organization of Indigenous Peoples, remarking that the natives are very disappointed because “more than two months have passed since the Bagua events and the government has neither started the talks, nor chosen representatives for the Commission for the Truth.”
“On August 22nd we will meet and decide on the measures we might take if our demands are not met,” said Timpi, stressing that they are not planning violent demonstrations, but that they will keep on defending their territories.
