ISTMINA, Colombia -- 

With just the clothes on their backs 
and enough bananas for the journey
, the people of one of Colombia's
 oldest indigenous tribes
 are fleeing for their lives.


---------' oldest indigenous  ' tribes 
christ 

what barnum type  hoax  over kill 

but how can you beat 


fleeing for their lives with only  a banana --------------------



In one teeming motorized canoe after another,
 more than 700 Wounaan people 
made harrowing 13-hour journeys 
upriver from their ancestral lands
 in western Colombia in recent days

---------- in recent days

how oddly slurred and vague --------------

 escaping Marxist rebels
 who had murdered two of the tribe's leaders 


-------- school teachers actually  
one wonders how the guerrrillas were id ed as such
given the ...para military units in the area ---------

half of the terrified tribe
 was left behind when the community ran out
 of money to buy fuel for the canoe engines

-------- ran out of gas 
  perils of pauline stuff ----------

The Wounaan of Chocó province 
are among as many as 3 million displaced Colombians 
who have been forced off their land 
in the past 20 years 

to escape execution 
by rebel groups

 recruitment into illegal armies

 obligatory cultivation of coca leaf
 and opium poppy,

 or military operations

------------- the  list 
  may be a bit cloudy of language
  as to what  exactly
  these other causes are
compared to 
 "execution by rebel groups"

but its inclusive eh

"fair and balanced "

now  check  how the  thumb  is re- applied
to the scales in the very next sentence   -----------

The vicious campaign by leftist rebels
 against the Colombian government
 has persisted for four decades


faded from international headlines
 but the war continues to create 
one the world's largest populations 
of displaced people.

 The United Nations says Colombia's
 is one of the worst internal refugee crises
 since World War II, 

and Human Rights Watch 
this year called it
 the most serious human rights situation 
in all of Latin America.


------------ more PT barker  hype up ------------

Last year alone,
 an average of 850 people 
fled their communities every day
 in this nation of 43 million people
 


-------- now the back drop
as in what are we  gringo humanizers 
          paying for down there --------


Under President Álvaro Uribe's 
aggressive policy to beat back rebel groups
 military operations 
contribute to the problem


--------- now the see we're full of  heart felts just like u..--------

 Ten percent of the government's budget 
goes toward the war,
 while less than half a percent
 has gone in the past
 to care for displaced people.

---------- where's the mention 
of uncle sam's army dole out
in all this ------------

The guerrillas force mass displacements
 to show the government
 they control the territory

 and clashes between the military
 and rebels force entire communities to retreat,

 -------- strange splice there eh ???---

The newest victims, the Wounaan,
 are more vulnerable than most.
 As members of a small tribe,
 they fear they will lose their culture
, language, religion, and way of life 
if separated too long 
from their sacred land and river.


---------- ah noble savages 
peaciful peoples extra ordinaire ----------------

 Indigenous people account 
for 2 percent of Colombia's population
 but 8 percent of its displaced,


--------- four times as likely to be displaced -------


 due to the strategic location 
of their often remote and fertile land tracts
 which are coveted by armed groups
 and drug traffickers alike

-------------  feel your settler stste
                            conscience  twinge  here ??----

Through 500 years of encroachment
 on their settlements -- 
from Spanish conquistadores
 and Afro-Colombian settlers
 to rubber-tappers, gold miners,
 and paramilitary forces -- 
the Wounaan have held fast to their land


------------- notice at long last

the paramilitary enter
     without explanation 

"hey  see they're in the fuckin article too
we got 
balance baby balance  "
then again with the crisp graphic send up
of the rebels..---- --------

. But with the assassination 
of two leaders by the leftist
 Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC,
 3 1/2 weeks ago,
 they say they made the decision
 to uproot for the first time ever



--------- there's more
including the  two scenarios
   of the two wacks 
but its pretty well out of steam 
after here
 at least
 besides those two action clips 

so adios compadre  --------
