For those who are following the horrific oppression of the Miskitu Nation, there is more very bad news. https://intercontinentalcry.org/history-repeats-nicaraguas-caribbean-coast/. Indigenous people are being displaced, their culture destroyed and the rain forests where they live cut down.
Here is another take on the situation, with commentary from Fleurima: http://www.einpresswire.com/article/414652667/miskitu-coast-under-seige-violence-erupts-after-elections. Ms Fleurima says
“Ortega regime are criminals and should be punished and removed from power no matter how much money they have illegally obtained. Immunity should not be afforded to this human being who is not providing safety, economic stability or education opportunities for the people he claims to lead and committing genocide on Miskitu Nation who are not even on Nicaraguan land.
True leaders know the importance of their post. They do not destroy people's properties or physically injure them. They do not kill someone because they have an opposing opinion or take what does not belong to them. A true leader does not allow his people to suffer, be uneducated and to starve. How you lead is a reflection of who you are. If a current leader is not allowing for all people's rights and advancement that is poor!
"Those who look the other way when they have in their hands the power to change things are those who deal, conspire with and protect those who serve their evil purposes.
"Any human being on the earth through degradation, marginalization and oppression can become ignorant. We, the Miskitu Nation, believe we can have harmony between technology, humanity, industry, business, privacy, ecology, education, development, sciences, global wealth through understanding and intelligent enforcement and obedience of inalienable rights for all. No one race or gender is superior just for the simple act of being born. Supremacy comes from skill, talent, education, product, character, and integrity that assure accountability and safety.”
The indigenous peoples of the world must unite if they are to hold their own in an unequal struggle.
