Hello friends! This time I will speak to you about the Mapuche conflict. I think that the situation is unacceptable.
When did this conflict start? We revise the History… When the Europeans arrived to Chile, in our country there were many cultures, such as atacameños, diaguitas, yaganes, picunches, mapuches, etc. Several this cultures have died today. And actually they have problems with their rights, for example, lands, culture, language, customs, discrimination and so on. In this moment, the discussion is about Mapuche’s demands. Mapuche people always was untamable people, they were never conquered for Spaniards, and after when Chile reached its independence started the problems, because the Chilean State needed to dominate all territory and the Mapuche still were free, then State send its Armed Forces and this form Mapuche lost their lands. Then, this conflict is historical and nobody has resolved.
And two weeks ago finished other Mapuche conflict. Mapuche prisoners were in hunger strike more than 90 days because they participated in protest in the fields (before these fields were their property) and they were captured and they were considered terrorists for Chilean law. The situation was untenable and the president decided to intervene and he chose government people for solving the problem. Finally, Mapuche won the battle and they will not be considered terrorists, although they suffered so much.
My opinion about the problem is Chilean State has forgotten the Human Rights with Mapuche people. Some Mapuche are not considered Chilean people them, they are Mapuche. And I think that they have that right and they should be free and they should choose Mapuche people or Chilean people. They shouldn’t be forced; they want to live in peace.
What are your opinions friends?
See you soon!
I believe that the Mapuche are conflicting, if before the Spanish had problems with the Incas. And they are conflicting because they project what they believe are theirs and some researchers speak of the Mapuche nation, more than an aboriginal people.
ReplyDeleteI think like you, there is human rights that must be respected, respect the difference.
I'm agree with you! The Chilean State have to let them choose if they want to be chilean or not. The big problem I think is that the most people think we have to defend mapuche's rights, but they just want to be in peace.
ReplyDeleteAh, and when I say "too old" I meant thirty years, no more ajajaja.
See you!
Excellent, Rodrigo.
ReplyDeleteYou check a fact, not revise. revise is to check and improve.
And say, "several of these cultures"
"Actually" means "Really"
Check past tense, "the government sent"
