Read an interesting article from the organization Izilwane. This article presents a fine summary about El Cerrejon, the Colombian state, and the relationship to the Wayuu indigenous communities

For 30 years, the multinational Cerrejón has exploited coal in La Guajira, Colombia, bringing only misery to local communities. Though Cerrejon's pretentions to divert the Rancheria River stopped (for now!) thanks to civic resistance, Cerrejon continues its irresponsible exploitation. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case in La Guajira or Colombia. This blog visibilizes this struggle within a local and national context of state neoliberal policies and repression.
