We just want to Live in Peace

The Garcia administration fails to understand that this is not a game for us. We are struggling for our right to live. But they tell us we do not have that right, that we are ignorant savages who must sit in silence while they rip our future from our back. And for what? To make America Happy? To build up an illusion of power so governments around the world will show their respect? So a handful of people can profit off the land we've maintained for over 10,000 years? We who only want to live in Peace

Look at what you've accomplished in your short time, President Garcia. Look how many scream out, how many are dead and terrified because of your failure as a leader. How many more will you take from us?

Perhaps it is time for you to move on so others can set the record straight and restore dignity and justice for ALL Peruvians.

You have stomped it out. You have burned it and dumped it into a river. You have ripped it from the stomachs of children as you have spat in their faces, calling them "enemy".

The only enemies in the world are those we create in our minds because we do not have the will or the ability to walk a better path. You have shown this to countless numbers by your decisions and by those of your administration over the past seven days and since 1200 Indigenous Communities stood up 65 days ago.

You will continue to show us this example of "how not to be" until you either step down, or stand up and earn some measure of respect from Peruvians and the hundreds of millions around the world who are watching you right now, waiting for to stop playing these derelict games an start behaving like an actual leader.

    What will our childern ask us if we let this go on and on..?
    Have we lost respect for those who have the guts to stand up..?
    Seems that the people of the world don’t think anymore about the future and looks after their own interest and greed.
    We have to press our government to take action on the future and look after those who protect it.
    The Amazone is sacred for the world,not succer,churches,statues ,money,oil, gold ect ect.
    We look so stupid if we give up to speak up and don’t take action!

    Many blessings for your wisdom Ester thank you for your post.It is true our people in the Amazon are of an ancient bloodline and the actions of the traitor Diablo Garcia, he has shamed his ancestors with this abomination all for materialism and greed,Garcia will fall he only has one year left yet he acts like he has all the time in the world he does not and i have had a vision of his fall and arrest.Our fallen brothers and sisters in the Amazon will be vindicated i promise you that.
    God bless!!

    Hi,

    My prayers are with you. All the best! It is amazing how all over the world the indigenous people are fighting against this rotten crumbling global system we live in. I think you are not only fighting for yourselves and for your right to live in harmony with Mother Earth but for the whole humanity to finally wake up from this nightmare we have created and create the New Jerusalem if I may use a biblical reference.

    With wholehearted support,

    Lianka
