CONAIE Tuesday condemned "state-sponsored violence in Peru from Peruvian indigenous brothers" and called on the international community to punish those responsible. organization Ecuadorian indigenous denounced also the "deplorable human rights situation that exists in the Peruvian Amazon," according to a statement released the institution in a press conference. Yapis, in dialogue with teleSUR described as criminal and inhuman situation of indigenous peoples in Peru. A complete text of the interview: What do you think Conaie address on this sad fact that indigenous brothers living in Peru? CONAIE is an autonomous, private, social and human promotion. In view of this, it is our humanitarian obligation to show solidarity with the indigenous brothers who go through a review, criminal and inhuman situation in Peru. We also sympathize because conflicts in 1941 had a political division between Peru and Ecuador because our limit was up the Amazon River and have relatives in different ethnic groups that live in the area. Conaie know that had already held meetings with national movements and non-governmental organizations have established "any action or decision until now? Well, we have no relations of any kind financial support, but we have made an autonomous organization at the level of Latin America, and why not say, in neighboring countries of Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Ecuador. We have a political goal, we have a political endeavor and a friendship, as human beings can relate and lead to development of a pluri building and multiculturalism in Latin America, where indigenous peoples are settled respectively. Besides the solidarity Part of you have had a rapprochement with other indigenous organizations in Peru or other Latin American level to join forces? Yes, we've had conversations, so we have an organization that is the Cuica, which is an organization uniting of several neighboring countries of the Southern Cone. In view of this we have relations with Colombia, with the nationalities of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Brazil, then try to show solidarity by making a political defense, a policy that states actually practice for humanitarian development in this century and not that is practiced as a neo-liberal. Peruvian President Alan Garcia has said that these actions are nothing but a conspiracy against the Peruvian state and not give in to blackmail What do you think? Well, we also know we are not Peruvians, but we know through different media that President Alan Garcia, with the respect they deserve, again tried to indoctrinate, to the presidential directive on plot demands of transnational corporations, because they want to exploit, extract, trade in natural resources such as oil and mining, a large area of \u200b\u200bland Amazon where indigenous peoples are settled in Peru. Do you already have sent a representative of CONAIE as a gesture of solidarity to Peru and the place where these events are being generated? Well, not us so far. For five months ago, in January, we had a partnership of coordination, of a political strategy rather than neo-liberal, but to be participants, builders of a political fight in modern life that is practiced on an equitable basis with respect, especially, nationalities and most of all human life and has an equitable development socioeconomic, political. A political alliance to promote respect for traditional settlements, which is established in the Constitution of Peru and also in treaties and international agreements and declared by the United Nations human rights of indigenous peoples.
