Indigenous Peruvians Protest State Oil Company Taking Over Their Land
Members of the Achuar people say they won't allow Petroperu to enter their territory, but the company has other ideas
June 7, 2013 | The Guardian
"Our protest has many meanings," says FENAP's president, Peas Peas Ayui, speaking from San Lorenzo in the Amazon where FENAP has an office. "We're not going to let any company enter. We are the owners. We are the original inhabitants. We want to live in peace. We have the right to stand up for ourselves and if Petroperu tries to enter we will fight very hard against it."
