Cambodia: China’s ‘Belt and Road’ Dam is a Rights Disaster Indigenous and Ethnic Groups Coerced, Poorly Compensated
Mammoth hydroelectric dam in Cambodia financed by China. Tens of thousands in Indigenous and ethnic groups made worse off. Reservoir emitting greenhouse gas from decaying vegetation on same levels as fossil fuel generation plants.
People lost decade-old fruit trees, homes, fields, graves & religious shrines when their villages in #Cambodia’s Mekong River Basin were submerged.
Everything the rivers provided before the dam was built – food, water, an income from fishing – is gone.

Permanent mobilization: Indigenous peoples keep their struggle at the national capital and into their territories
About one thousand leaders will remain mobilized in Brasília until September 2nd. The decision was taken in a plenary at the Struggle for Life Camp.
>>> Read the document that states the ‘Indigenous Spring’ of permanent mobilizations in Brasília https://bit.ly/PrimaveraIndígena_ <<<
Gathered in a plenary, the 6,000 indigenous present in the Struggle for Life camp decided to keep the mobilization in a permanent modus, in Brasilia and within their territories throughout the country, until the final decision on the Milestone thesis. In memory of their ancestors and enchanted spirits, in defense of their bodies, lands and territories, identity and diverse cultures, they reinforce the mobilization in defense of life.
Mobilized in the national capital since Sunday, the 22nd of August, one of the motivations to extend the mobilization is the beginning of the trial by the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) on the Milestone thesis for the Indigenous Lands demarcations. The session was suspended due to lack of time, on Thursday (26), just after Justice Edson Fachin finished reading his initial report. The Court President, Luiz Fux, has assured the trial will be resumed on Wednesday, September 1st.
In a letter released this Saturday (28), the Indigenous Movement reasserts that they “trust the Supreme Court will reinforce our original right to the land, which does not depend on a specific date of occupation proof, as defended by the invaders”. Supported by ancestry and by “the power of our peoples, our spirituality and the strength of our enchanted spirits who cherish the Bem Viver (Good Living), ours and humanity's, we say no to the Milestone thesis!”, reassure the indigenous.
About 1,000 indigenous leaders, representing their peoples, will keep camped in Brasília in a new site - Funarte. Respecting the sanitary protocols to fight Covid19, the group will remain there until the 2nd of September and, in the sequence, they will join their forces with the Second Indigenous Women’s March, that will take place between the 7th and the 11th of September.
“Our history did not begin in 1988, and our struggles are millennial, in other words, they have persisted since the Portuguese and successive European invaders arrived in these lands to take over our territories and their wealths” assures the Indigenous Movement. They also state they continue “to resist, claiming respect for our way of seeing, being, thinking, feeling and acting in the world”.
