Paraguay: “The Unwanted” of Ciudad del Este

Categories: Latin America, Paraguay, Development, Human Rights, Indigenous, Protest

Journalist and blogger Andrés Colmán Gutiérrez wrote on his blog Ñangapiry News [1] [es] about a group of about 170 indigenous people that live on the streets of Ciudad del Este [2], “fleeing poverty and oblivion in their old scorched lands.” Andrés reports that last Thursday more than 500 people protested to demand that these indigenous people be taken out of the city.
