 | Rigoberta Menchú insiste en una relación de respeto con la naturaleza, Huesca (España), 16 jun (EFE).- Durante la presentación de su libro "Agua y humanidad. Una existencia recíproca", que ahonda en la visión maya de la naturaleza y los seres humanos, la Premio Nobel de la Paz Rigoberta Menchú abogó por la necesidad de que la humanidad establezca un nuevo tipo de relaciones con los recursos naturales disponibles. La líder indigenista guatemalteca, que abrió los actos de la Tribuna del Agua de la Expo 2008 en el Teatro Olimpia de la ciudad española de Huesca (Aragón), comentó que la humanidad pende de un "hilo", el 2 por ciento de agua dulce disponible del planeta, un 58 por ciento de la cual se desperdicia, afirmó, por la carencia de unas infraestructuras y servicios adecuadas. En su intervención reclamó un "cambio de actitud" de los gobiernos que favorezca una gestión racional de recursos naturales, como el agua "en cada hogar y en cada institución del planeta". "Tengo la esperanza -añadió- de que después de la Expo 2008 podremos hacer un nuevo pacto para modificar nuestras relaciones con los recursos del planeta, para valorarlos no como objetos de uso sino como una parte de nosotros mismos".

 | Violent Evictions at El Estor, Guatemala From Rights Action (http://www.rightsaction.org/video/elestor/): On January 8th and 9th 2007, hundreds of police and soldiers in Guatemala forcibly evicted the inhabitants of several communities who were living on lands that a Guatemalan military government had granted to Canadian mining company INCO in 1965. Local indigenous people claim the land to be theirs, and resent the exploitation of a foreign corporation. Canada's Skye Resources now lays claim to the land, and paid workers a nominal sum to destroy people's homes. With the force of the army and police, company workers took chainsaws and torches to people's homes, while women and children stood by. Skye Resources claims that they maintained "a peaceful atmosphere during this action." |
