A federal tribunal has ordered the eviction of the Guarani-Kaiowa Indians of Ñanderú Marangatú within the next few days.
The Guarani of Ñanderú Marangatú finally won a long struggle to have
their land demarcated in March this year, after many years living in
terrible conditions on a tiny strip of land nearby. Ranchers are
contesting the demarcation in court.
In an appeal for support, the Guarani said yesterday, We want our
people to be respected. The eviction notice has left we Guarani-Kaiowa
very sad and worried. We don't accept the order, our land is already
demarcated, our struggle is old. Many leaders have already died in this
struggle…. We just want our land and to be a happy people.'
