WAR , A STRATEGY TO SPOIL indigenous ancestral territories
The Ministry more CRIC report to the community national and international that the attack was perpetrated against the girl Mayerli Alejandro Legarda Quilcue 12-year-old daughter of Aida Quilcue spokeswoman Minga of Social and Community Resistance and Edwin Legarda, who was assassinated on December 16 by the security forces in the municipality Totoró, department of Cauca.
The attack suffered by the girl Mayerli Quilcue Legarda, who has security measures, was carried out by four individuals, at approximately 6:00 pm on 11 May, which pointed guns short for her who was in front of his home, located in the village of Claret Township Popayán, Cauca.
When she noted the danger went into the house and the criminals, who were driving a white car which failed to identify their plates, surrounded the house, but apparently decided to launch the flight bound for the city of Popayan to observe movements of the indigenous guard who was inside the house.
This anomalous situation is surrounded by other irregular events occurred, one the day before, when people claiming to be officials Welfare family tried to enter the school where the younger is studying and then visited his home and interrogated there without permission or knowledge of his mother, Aida Marina Quilcue Vivas.
Another development reported by the Ministry Mayor CRIC was the events of April 21, where a police patrol was prowling the same house and later in the evening, the car Mayerli assigned to the child was followed from the American by a police patrol in a lonely place and the road was stopped, pretending, the military, threatening with their issue weapons, seize the vehicle which was not allowed by the guard to escort serves both the girl and the then Minister CRIC, Aida Quilcue. The driver explained the status of transported and agents instead of attending his duty to guard called in reinforcements and surrounded the car threatening where they moved the Indians. Reluctantly, and apparently on the advice of Cauca police commander, whom he informed the Indian authorities of the CRIC, the soldiers gave way. This fact was brought to the attention of bodies of state control on April 22, 2008.
The Ministry Mayor CRIC claim to the world that the Colombian government stop the war against the Indians, but as the president did not publicly apologize for offering to pay rewards to break the Indian unit, in March 2008 in the city Popayan, its agents continue to be considered a favor to its government to stalk and kill Indians. The same happens with the guerrillas
FARC and not conducive to peace in Colombia, to continue threatening and killing on the grounds that indigenous communities that have territorial control of the security forces as collaborators or shields their opponents.
What happened in Nariño, in Indian Community Greenstone, Municipality of barbecues, at three in the morning of May 11, where the natives Aw'a, Adelnelio Bisbiscuz Garcia 37 years old and Marco Antonio Taicúz 32, and head injury Berta Vargas, by individuals wearing military uniforms, confirm this.
Likewise, the threat to indigenous governor, Luz Cuspian Emerita, the Cabildo de Huila, Tierradentro, received through a leaflet signed by the AUC, and black eagles anonymous phone calls, show that although the communities in the midst of a dangerous situation experienced by the volcanic activity of Nevado del Huila, should evacuate the area and placed in a temporary shelter in the protection of Ambaló, municipality of Silvia , Cauca, the State has not paid sufficient attention to this situation and on the other hand it is known that the territories abandoned by the indigenous communities in Tierradentro, are being cornered by all parties to the conflict.
is clear that armed conflict is to avoid the development of autonomy and disrespecting the territory as with the people Nasa, where the sixth head of the FARC has threatened to 8 people that are part of the municipal administration and the indigenous council of Jambaló.
addition, the war taking place in large parts of Cauca, has been reported that 18 people have been evacuated from San Miguel de Hell, Guangüí and Tombiquí lower, towards the town of Timbiquí, being poisoned by chemical warfare effect of aerial spraying with glyphosate, by Colombian security forces since last May 6, which also affect humans than those reported on the death fish from the rivers San Bernardo, San Miguel de infernos and Saija.
denounce this policy of war that is still a strategy to force the indigenous movement and the abandonment of the ancestral lands, with which it is unknown Order 004 issued by the Constitutional Court , through which ordered the Colombian government to safeguard indigenous peoples threatened with extinction, as is happening in the Colombian-Ecuadorian people Aw'a, in the Pacific Coast caucana with the People Eperara Siapidara and Tierradentro and northern Nasa Cauca with the people.
