Xapilhue, Mapuche territory May 9, 2011.
The seven communities belonging to the territory Trapilhue-Maquehue (Xapilwe-Makewe) of the municipalities of Padre las Casas and Freire, and historically are claiming as their own the adjoining estates, including the Fundo Maquehue the University of the Border, reported to the public:
In today Monday 09 May, at the time the sun rises, the ancestral land was overshadowed by a contingent of about 500 troops of the Space Operations Group (GOPE) of the military police and chile , Prepared with the most varied arsenal of war (tanks, armored vehicles, sub machine guns, tear gas, among other elements of attack). In a surprise admission made to the main road linking the communities with the stated property in dispute, and then move into the community following the natural and proper standards of the famous and infamous "repression of the Chilean" known at very global and valued by the "democratic" regimes of the past 20 years while dictatorial precious inheritance.
Our people, realizing this new aggression, especially youth-made weychafe stop this progress and blocking access roads own defense mechanism and protection of our children and women who inhabit the territory, making Chilean paramilitary forces retreated to the river bridge fit. Whereupon, staff repressor attacked and fired all its variety of weapons against Mapuche people, pursuing our people into communities, where the bullets hit two of our young people, who at this point remain within our communities were vital risk and under evaluation for the development of their injuries, but refused to attend a health clinic given the repressive Chilean and informer that there has been presented in previous similar situations.
As a result of their actions, police detained near the site of two American citizens, to which the Chilean Mayor (Miguel Mellado) presents as alleged masterminds behind the Mapuche claims. It is crass, ridiculous and disgusting such assertions in the Chilean authorities, but we understand because of their intellectual disability and supine ignorance of the history of the Mapuche region. It is both their racism they can not understand that the Mapuche do not need data entry or animators to know our value of advocacy weich our rights and the land they destroyed.
In turn, today at 16. 00 am, in the land of Makewe, 5 kms south of Temuco, Chile's armed group in a similar number of events in the morning tried to suppress a peaceful demonstration in defense of the Mapuche territory invaded by foreign businessmen to Nuke Mapu. Following the same model, the Chileans attacked against the Mapuche people in pursuit reached the interior of the land where the Mapuche homes inhabited by children, women and elderly. Our people tried to fend off the attack and it turned out that the attack was more violent militarized. Proceeds from the siege of the Chilean armed band in the sector have no information to date on injuries and arrests.
We demand the government and the regional mayor shift to abandon these repressive practices against the Mapuche people, especially against people exercising their legitimate right to social protest against the genocidal policy that keeps our imprisoned brothers, encouraged the construction of an Air Terminal that we do not serves and subsidizes the regional business and forestry under false pretext of helping the invading our comunidades.Respecto call Quepe airport, we note and call on everyone to mobilize against the invader in any form, for they are symbolic acts but the real action the seeds of our stay as a nation and culture.
The resilience of our communities, as well as those mobilized within or outside the call of the ATM at a general level, will continue.
