Categories: Latin America, Colombia, Indigenous, War & Conflict

As previously noted on Global Voices [1], Colombia's armed conflict is threatening indigenous peoples. Ahni in Intercontinental Cry reports [2] that “The oldest and strongest grassroots indigenous organization in Colombia, The Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca (CRIC [3]),” has called for “a ‘Minga of resistance’ [“a traditional gathering or activity for the collective good”] to restore autonomy and peace throughout Indigenous territories in the Colombian state of Cauca”.
