At 8am, at a site called el Encenillo along the Panamerican Highway in
the municipality of Timbio in the southern part of the department of Cauca,
approximately 600 peasant-farmers and students from the municipalities
of La Vega, Argelia, El Bordo, El Tambo and Popayán have gathered to march
to Popayan; the National Agrarian and Popular Mobilization started today,
October 10th, 2007 and is demanding the immediate resignation of the illegal
and illegitamate president Álvaro Uribe Vélez. The protesters reclaim
their right to self- determination as a people, to defend their territory
from the interference of transnational and multinational corporations
and the Free Trade Agreement and state politics of annihilation of the
peasant, Afro-Colombian and indigenous economies. They demand the approval
of the Humanitarian Accords and the creation of a democratic government
with wide popluar participation.
