Mobilization in Colombia

Text and Links:

<p>On Monday September 13 the <a href="http://www.nasaacin.net/">Nasa
indigenous
  peoples</a> of Colombia launched a big three-day march and mobilization
against
  war, neoliberalism, the FTAA, and constitutional counterreforms planned by
the
  government. The march marks the beginning of a whole month of intensive
social
  mobilization in <a href="http://colombia.indymedia.org/">Colombia</a>. The
Nasa
  are known as dreamers, and they have become the ethical guides of
Colombia's
  social movements. They can trace their resistance back to rebellion
against
  the Spanish colonizers hundreds of years ago through to a strengthening of
their
  movement in the past few decades. </p>

<p>With the help of <a href="http://liveradio.indymedia.org/">IMC Radio
Network</a>
  and <a href="http://arla.radiolivre.org">ARLA</a>, and in coordination
with
  the <a href="http://www.onic.org.co/quienes_somos.htm">National Indigenous
Organization
  of Colombia</a> (ONIC), the march is being <a
href="http://radio.indymedia.org:8000/colombia.mp3.m3u">streamed
  and broadcast</a> around the world. The radio transmission will start from
<a href="http://www.onic.org.co/minga.html">the
  "radiocicleta"</a> -- an adapted bicycle equipped with a radio transmitter
and
  antenna that will accompany the big march -- and from indigenous community
radio
  stations in Colombia. It is likely no coincidence that on Friday Septemer
4,
  the indigenous community station <a
href="http://colombia.indymedia.org/archives/archive_by_id.php?category_id=1
&id=447">Radio
  Nasa was shut down</a> by the government of Colombian president Alvaro
Uribe.</p>
