TIPNIS’ stakeholders, part II

This cartoon is from El Dia (9/21/11), it reads “Oppressed Indigenous” the TIPNIS protest-walk group is surrounded by illegal loggers with chainsaw, high landers with dynamite, policemen with clubs and shields and coca growers with whips. This protests group is surrounded, deprived from water which is nearby and food supplies were not allowed to reach them. In the capital cities of La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, the common citizen is delivering food, water, money in the main plazas of those capitals, hoping those supplies can reach the marching group sometime soon.

This cartoon is from La Prensa (9/21/11), in a far away place two “recognizable” characters are saying: “…and he says that aside of humiliating, discriminating, confiscating their food and medicines, now they are going to “explode” their brothers” and the soldier says “Oh my God, we haven’t treated like that, not even in war-time!”

The stakeholders movement in country and overseas is growing to the detriment of this government’s prestige, which aimed at “ruling for the people.”
